Noterools: Not just Zotero Tools

中文文档 | English

At the beginning, I just wanted to write a Python implementation based on gwyn-hopkins's code to add clickable hyperlinks to Zotero citations. However, as my paper underwent more revisions, I found myself needing to make increasingly complex formatting adjustments. Consequently, the functionality of the code expanded. After extensive refactoring, noterools was born.

What is this?

Currently, noterools can help you do the following things:

• Create bookmarks for each reference in the Zotero bibliography.
• Set hyperlinks for Zotero citations that navigate to the corresponding references and adjust whether the hyperlinks are underlined.
• Customize the font color of Zotero citations.
• Italicize journal names and publishers in the Zotero bibliography that aren't correctly formatted as italics.
• Adjust the font color and weight for cross-references within the main text.
• Replace the hyphen (-, Unicode 002D) used for page ranges in the bibliography with an en dash (–, Unicode 2013).
• (Experimental Feature) Modify the capitalization style of English reference titles. Supports three styles: ALL CAPS, Title Case (Capitalize Each Word), and Sentence case (Capitalize first word only).

Important Note

• This script can only work in Windows.

How to use?

1. Install noterools via pip.

pip install noterools

2. Create a Python script and run it. Here is a simple example.

from noterools import Word, add_cross_ref_style_hook
from noterools._entry import add_citation_cross_ref_hook

if __name__ == '__main__':
    word_file_path = r"E:\Documents\Word\test.docx"
    new_file_path = r"E:\Documents\Word\test_new.docx"

    with Word(word_file_path, save_path=new_file_path) as word:
        # Add hyperlinks for numbered citation formats.
        add_citation_cross_ref_hook(word, is_numbered=True)

        # Add hyperlinks to (Author, Year) citation format, set the citation font color to blue.
        # By default, container titles or publishers in the bibliography that are not correctly italicized will be set to italics.
        # add_citation_cross_ref_hook(word, is_numbered=False)

        # By setting the value of color, you can change the color of the entire citation (excluding the parentheses).
        # 0: Black
        # 16711680: Blues
        # For more colors, please see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.wdcolor
        # add_citation_cross_ref_hook(word, is_numbered=False, color=0)

        # set_container_title_italic is used to control whether to correct names in the bibliography that are not properly italicized.
        # You can disable this feature by setting it to False.
        # add_citation_cross_ref_hook(word, is_numbered=False, set_container_title_italic=False)

        # Set the font color and bold style for cross-references starting with 'Figure' in the main contents.
        add_cross_ref_style_hook(word, color=16711680, bold=True, key_word=["Figure"])

        # Replace the hyphen with en dash.
        # To use this feature, you need to call `zotero_init_client` to initialize the client to communicate with Zotero.
        # Please refer to the pyzotero documentation to find your Zotero ID and apply for an API key.
        # https://pyzotero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#getting-started-short-version
        # zotero_init_client(zotero_id="Your Zotero ID", zotero_api_key="Your Zotero API key")
        # add_update_dash_symbol_hook(word, "Your ID", "Your key")

        # Change English articles' title format to All CAPS.
        # add_format_title_hook(word, upper_all_words=True)

        # Change English articles' title format to Title Case (minor words will be changed too).
        # add_format_title_hook(word, upper_first_char=True)

        # Change English articles' title format to Sentence Case.
        # add_format_title_hook(word, lower_all_words=True)

    # You can give a list contains proper noun when change format to Sentence Case.
    # word_list = ["UNet", "US", "China", "WRF"]
    # add_format_title_hook(word, lower_all_words=True, word_list=word_list)
