* Zotero 1: range fields and custom document properties round-trip Citation managers' ADDIN fields (Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote) are now kept as range fields: FieldStart/FieldEnd markers with the result as ordinary, formatted content between them, possibly spanning paragraphs (a Zotero bibliography). Before, the result was flattened to plain text and a multi-paragraph field lost its end. - doc: InlineObject::FieldStart/FieldEnd, Document::field_ranges, balance_field_ranges; CustomProp and custom_props with get/set/remove. - docx: read ADDIN fields as ranges (field codes up to 2 MiB), write them back as begin/instr/separate…end; orphan markers are dropped on save so files always hold whole fields. docProps/custom.xml is parsed and regenerated (simple types as text, vectors/blobs verbatim) instead of passed through, so Zotero's ZOTERO_PREF_n settings are editable. - engine: file.properties reads and sets custom properties. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Zotero 2: wire-protocol client and document bridge New crate wordcraft-zotero (L5) speaks Zotero's published word-processor protocol (port 23116; 32-bit transaction id + big-endian length frames, JSON payloads, ERR: replies): - client: sends an integration command (addEditCitation, addEditBibliography, addNote, refresh, removeCodes, setDocPrefs) and answers Zotero's calls until Document_complete or the connection closes (cancelled dialog). Answers go through a callback so the app can apply them on its UI thread; run_on_session answers directly. - Bridge: implements Zotero's Document_*/Field_* calls on a Session. Fields are stored as Word's plugin stores them (ADDIN ZOTERO_ range fields; prefs in ZOTERO_PREF_n, with Zotero's ReferenceMark field type kept as Word's Field in the file), so documents stay Word-compatible. Rich text (RTF or HTML) keeps citation formatting; bibliographies get a Bibliography style from setBibliographyStyle; note styles create footnotes/endnotes, and deleting a lone note citation removes its note; placeholder links convert to fields. One transaction = one undo step. Field ids stay stable through inserts and deletes. - Tests: a fake Zotero over a real socket, every call, docx round trip, hostile arguments for every method, random frames (proptest). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Zotero 3: Zotero in the app and the CLI, tested with the real Zotero - ui.zotero.<command> (addEditCitation, addEditBibliography, addNote, refresh, removeCodes, setDocPrefs), ui.zotero.status and ui.zotero.answer. The socket runs on a background thread; each of Zotero's calls is answered on the UI thread against the session, and Zotero's questions become a dialog the session waits on. Web builds report that Zotero needs the desktop app. - wordcraft-cli zotero <command> <file> [--save] [--trace] [--port]. - Bridge: a selection Zotero makes to show a citation is put back when the session ends. - ui_shot: {"wait": ms} keeps frames running for background work. - docs/zotero.md. Checked against Zotero 10.0.6: refresh of a citation and bibliography (APA), its "modified citation" question answered in the app's dialog, RTF results with italics, Bibliography style, prefs round trip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Zotero 4: switching between in-text and note styles moves citations Document_convert and Field_convert now move a citation between the text, footnotes and endnotes, as Zotero asks when the document's style changes between an in-text and a note style: into a new note at the same place, or back into the text where the note mark was (removing a note that held only the citation; keeping one with other text). Field ids survive the move, formatting is kept, and each Zotero session stays one undo step. Checked against Zotero 10.0.6: unlink citations (removeCodes, with its confirmation question) and a refresh after switching the document to Chicago notes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Zotero 5: Zotero tab in the ribbon A Zotero tab (before Help) with Add/Edit Citation, Add Note, Add/Edit Bibliography, Refresh, Document Preferences and Unlink Citations. The buttons are disabled while a Zotero command is running and in the web build. Three new icons drawn in code (document preferences, unlink, add note); the others reuse the References tab's. Labels and status messages translated (zh-hans, zh-hant, ja). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Zotero: Add/Edit Bibliography inserted nothing Zotero reads a newly inserted bibliography field back before filling it, and unlinks a field whose text is empty, taking it for a bibliography the user deleted. Our new fields were empty, so Add/Edit Bibliography ended with Field_removeCode and nothing in the document. New fields now hold "{Citation}" until Zotero writes the result. Found by tracing the session with Zotero 10.0.6; regression test added. wordcraft-cli zotero takes --cmd (run before the Zotero command, e.g. caret.docEnd) to reproduce sessions from a given caret position. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Zotero: log each command's outcome and Zotero's calls to the app log Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Read Aloud player: speed, previous/next sentence, skips citations Read Aloud now speaks sentence by sentence with the system speech program (say / espeak / Windows SAPI) on a worker thread, so it can pause, skip and change speed. A floating player window has previous / play-pause / next / stop, a 0.5-3x speed slider and "Skip citations & bibliography" (on by default: Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote and Word citation fields). The spoken sentence is highlighted and the caret follows it. New commands: readAloud.playPause/next/previous/stop/speed/ skipCitations/status, and caret.pastCitation (Zotero > Move Past Citation). Speed and skip preference persist with the UI prefs.

Zotero
WordCraft works with the Zotero desktop app the way Word does: Zotero's own citation dialog, all of its citation styles, automatic bibliography and refresh. Nothing to install in Zotero; it only has to be running. The Zotero tab in the ribbon has the buttons: Add/Edit Citation, Add Note, Add/Edit Bibliography, Refresh, Document Preferences and Unlink Citations (each runs one of the commands below).
Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
ui.zotero.addEditCitation |
Add a citation at the caret, or edit the one the caret is in |
ui.zotero.addEditBibliography |
Add the bibliography at the caret, or edit it |
ui.zotero.refresh |
Update every citation and the bibliography |
ui.zotero.setDocPrefs |
Citation style, language, footnotes or in-text |
ui.zotero.removeCodes |
Unlink citations: keep the text, drop Zotero's codes |
ui.zotero.addNote |
Insert a Zotero note |
ui.zotero.status |
{busy, waitingForAnswer, last} |
ui.zotero.answer |
{"button": n}: answer a question Zotero is asking (OK/Yes 1, No/Cancel 0; with Yes/No/Cancel: Yes 2, No 1, Cancel 0) |
They run in the app (and through the control channel and MCP bridged to the app). A command
returns at once with {"started": …}; Zotero then works in its own window and WordCraft answers
it in the background. All changes from one command are one undo step.
From a terminal, against a file:
wordcraft-cli zotero refresh paper.docx --save paper.docx [--trace]
Two engine commands work with Zotero's fields without Zotero running:
caret.pastCitation(Zotero › Move Past Citation) moves the caret to just after the citation it is in or before. Adjacent citations count as one. If there is none, it moves past the next citation.- Read Aloud (
review.readAloud, Review › Speech, Mod+Alt+Space) skips citations and the bibliography by default. This covers Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote and Word's own citation fields. The player window has previous/next sentence, pause, stop and speed (0.5–3×). Its commands arereadAloud.playPause,.next,.previous,.stop,.speed {"value"},.skipCitations {"value"}and.status. SetWORDCRAFT_SPEECH=offto keep it silent.
Switching between an in-text style and a note style in Document Preferences moves the citations: into new footnotes (or endnotes) at the same place, and back into the text where the note marks were; a note that held only the citation is removed.
Word compatibility
Citations are stored as Word's Zotero plugin stores them — fields with the code
ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {…}, the bibliography as ADDIN ZOTERO_BIBL … CSL_BIBLIOGRAPHY,
document preferences in the custom properties ZOTERO_PREF_1…n — so one document can be edited
in Word and WordCraft in turn, with Zotero working in both. (Zotero talks to WordCraft over the
protocol it uses for LibreOffice and calls the field type "Reference Mark" there; WordCraft keeps
Word's "Field" in the file.)
Limits
- Zotero's "Bookmarks" field type isn't supported; keep the default.
- Zotero's document transfer (Export/Import Document) isn't needed and isn't supported.
- The web version can't reach Zotero (browsers can't open the socket).
How it works
crates/zotero implements Zotero's published word-processor wire protocol (port 23116):
client runs a session, Bridge answers Zotero's Document_* / Field_* calls against the
session. The app (crates/ui-egui/src/zotero.rs) runs the socket on a thread and answers on the
UI thread.
