## Description

This plugin allows references and citations in your posts. If you find issues or
if you think it lacks some features, please contact me.

To use it, simply add your reference using a shortcode you can choose (‘zref’ by
default), and a item ID (a reference ID from a Zotero library you have to declare
in the admin part if the plugin).

Because it’s a minimal implementation, you need to add the reference ID manually
in the code. Maybe later I’ll do better 😉

Then a list of all references will be added automatically at the end of the post.

Here are some examples:

 * [zref]VP5PKI56[/zref]
 * [zref name=’numref’]VP5PKI56[/zref]
 * [zref name=’numref’ /]

You can optionnaly add a name to the citation, so you can reuse it in your post.
Important note: the displayed attributes will be the attributes of the FIRST reference
with that name. Any other attribute will be ignored.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * This is a very simple example with a reference used twice.

 * The corresponding post (in the new WordPress Editor). The 1st reference is used
   once, the 2nd twice (with a reference name).

## Installation

Just get the plugin and activate it. You can choose in the admin section the text
of the shortcode you’ll use for your citations. By default it’s ‘zref’.

Remember that when you change it, all posts written with the old shortcode won’t
be parsed anymore.

You need a Zotero account to use the plugin. That implies that you have a user ID(
of your Zotero account) and a private KEY (for using the Zotero’s API). Just fill
the form (in the admin page, below the shortcode) with those credentials.

## FAQ

Let me know if you have some. I will add them here!

An answer to that question.

This is a very simple and effective plugin, ideal for those that want add Zotero
citations to their blogs and still keep their installation simple and fast.
