I am trying to convert a ".odt" document into latex but I am mainly interested in exporting the bibliography in ".bib". I use zotero to insert references in my document.
I tried unsuccessfully (empty file) different ways even modifying the xml configuration file, therefore I hope everything is not messed up.
If I understand, the first step is to export the full zotero database in a ALL.bib file and then, when using the plugin to convert the document DOC.odt, the program will read both the DOC.odt and the ALL.bib files and create a new DOC.bib file which contains only the references used in the document. Am I right?
So when I use the BibLatex (Writer2Latex) option from zotero, it seems that the file is ok, but I have an error message at the end of the export. Anyway, the ALL.bib file is in the same folder as the DOC.odt. Therefore in the options I checked "Convert Zotero citations" and for Bibtex location "In location folder".
Concerning the xml files, those are the entries:
<option name="use_bibtex" value="true"/>
<option name="bibtex_style" value="plain"/>
<option name="external_bibtex_files" value=""/>
<option name="zotero_bibtex_files" value="/path/to/the/DOC/and/ALL/files/"/>
<option name="jabref_bibtex_files" value=""/>
<option name="include_original_citations" value="false"/>
<option name="use_natbib" value="false"/>
<option name="natbib_options" value=""/>
When I try to export using bibtex filter it gives me an empty file.
Am I doing something wrong?
I thank you for your help.
