# Zotcite
> [!Note]
> Users of Vim and Neovim < 0.10 have to install the branch "vim".
_Zotcite_ is a Neovim plugin that provides integration with Zotero. With
_zotcite_ you can:
- Do auto-completion of citation keys from Zotero database in
Markdown, RMarkdown and Quarto documents (with `cmp-zotcite`).
- Quickly see on the status bar information on the reference under the cursor.
- Use the `zotref.py` filter to pre-process the Markdown document before the
citations are processed by `pandoc`, avoiding the need of `bib` files.
- Open the PDF attachment of the reference associated with the citation key
under the cursor.
- Extract highlighted text and text notes from PDF attachments of
references.
- Extract Zotero notes and annotations from Zotero database.
- Add all cited references to the YAML header of the Markdown document.
_Zotcite_ is being developed and tested on Linux and should work flawlessly on
other Unix systems, such as Mac OS X. It may require additional configuration
on Windows.
## Installation
Requirements:
- Zotero >= 5
- Python 3
- Python 3 modules pynvim (see Neovim documentation on `provider-python` for
details) and PyYAML.
- Python modules PyQt5 and python-poppler-qt5 (only if you are going to extract
annotations from PDF documents). On Debian based Linux distributions, you
can install them with the command:
`sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 python3-poppler-qt5`
Depending on your system, you may have to install python modules in an virtual
environment and maybe also system-wide.
Zotcite can be installed as any Neovim plugin, and it depends on
[cmp-zotcite](https://github.com/jalvesaq/cmp-zotcite) and
[nvim-treesitter](https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter) as well
as tree-sitter parser for `markdown`, `markdown_inline`, and `yaml`. Below is
an example of how to install it with [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim):
```lua
{
'jalvesaq/zotcite',
dependencies = {
"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
}
config = function ()
require("zotcite").setup({
-- your options here (see doc/zotcite.txt)
})
end
},
{
"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
run = ":TSUpdate",
config = function ()
require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup({
sync_install = true,
ensure_installed = {
"html",
"latex",
"markdown",
"markdown_inline",
"yaml",
},
highlight = {
enable = true,
},
indent = {
enable = true,
},
})
vim.o.foldmethod = "expr"
vim.o.foldexpr = "nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()"
vim.o.foldenable = false
end
},
```
Note: you don't need to lazy load zotcite because it already lazy loads its
modules only for the supported file types.
The Python module `zotero` does not import the `vim` module. Hence, its code
could easily be adapted to other text editors or as a language server for
markdown and quarto.
## Usage
Please, read the plugin's
[documentation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jalvesaq/zotcite/master/doc/zotcite.txt)
for further instructions.
## Acknowledgment
Zotcite's Python code was based on the
[citation.vim](https://github.com/rafaqz/citation.vim) project.
