Zotero-better-bibtex: can you improve the length of the Citation Key in Chinese

Created on 22 Dec 2020  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex

  • [x] Key generation enhancement
  • [x] enhancement

Let Citation Key format: [auth:lower][year][veryshorttitle:lower]

However, the Citation Key of Chinese literature is too long. I hope to use only the first one or two character in title,

eg: Article links

*Expected behavior: zhangqisheng2018jiyu *

*Actual behavior: zhangqisheng2018jiyufenjiesixiangdeduomubiaojinhuasuanfayanjiu *

Without the requested debug log, I can only guess at what you want. You could try [auth:lower][year][Title:split-ideographs:select=1,3:lower]. If you want something else, I'll need a debug log as outlined above.

It looks like you did not upload an debug report. The debug report is important; it gives @retorquere your current BBT settings and a copy of the problematic reference as a test case so he can best replicate your problem. Without it, @retorquere is effectively blind. Debug reports are useful for both bug analysis and enhancement requests; in the case of export enhancements, I need the copy of the references you have in mind.

This request is much more likely than not to apply to you, too, _even if you think it unlikely_, and even if it does not, there's no harm in sending a debug log that turns out to be unnecessary. @retorquere will more often than not just end up saying "please send a debug log first". Let's just skip over the unnecesary delay this entails. Sending a debug log is very easy:

  1. If your issue relates to how BBT behaves around a specific reference(s), such as citekey generation or export, select at least one of the problematic reference(s), right-click it, and submit an BBT debug report from that popup menu. If the problem is with export, please do include a sample of what you see exported, and what you expected to see exported for these references.

  2. If the issue does not relate to references and is of a more general nature, generate an debug report by restarting Zotero with debugging enabled (Help -> Debug Output Logging -> Restart with logging enabled), reproducing your problem, and selecting "Send Better BibTeX debug report..." from the help menu.

Once done, you will see a debug ID in red. Please post that debug id in the issue here.

Thank you!

Wow, that's just what I want, thank you,
