zotero-bibtize 0.0.1

Transform Zotero BibTex files to LaTeX friendly representation.

zotero-bibtize

Refurbish exported Zotero-BibTex bibliographies into a more friendly representation.

In the current state exporting the contents of a Zotero database to Bibtex format most special characters are replaced by Zotero internal versions or escaped before written to the output file. This behavior is exceptionally annoying if entries contain code which is meant to be processed by (i.e. chemical or mathematical expressions and formulas in the title, etc.).

zotero-bibtize can be used to post-process the generated Zotero output files and remove added escape sequences (i.e. the output is an identical replica of the raw entry contents stored in the Zotero interface)

Example

Bibtex entry generated by Zotero:

@article{LangCM2015,
  title = {Lithium {Ion} {Conduction} in {\textbackslash}ce\{{LiTi}2({PO}4)3\} and {Related} {Compounds} {Based} on the \{{NASICON}\} {Structure}: {A} {First}-{Principles} {Study}},
  volume = {27},
  issn = {0897-4756, 1520-5002},
  shorttitle = {Lithium {Ion} {Conduction} in {\textbackslash}ce\{{LiTi}2({PO}4)3\} and {Related} {Compounds} {Based} on the {NASICON} {Structure}},
  url = {http://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemmater.5b01582},

After post-processing the file with zotero-bibtize:
