Re: [emacs-humanities] Best workflow for Emacs + Zotero ?

[Edgar Vincent]

Hello everyone,

To follow up on Sergei’s very insightful suggestions, I’d like to mention the 
excellent `citar’ package (<https://github.com/emacs-citar/citar>),
which integrates Bib(La)Tex data with consult, vertico and marginalia and 
allows one to very easily insert references and access attachments from
your Zotero library (via BetterBib(La)Tex, which Sergei mentioned).
