## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Open document in DEVONthink
|
|
2. Select text to quote
|
|
3. Run script
|
|
4. Paste formatted citation into a Markdown editor
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Copies selected text to clipboard
|
|
- Calculates and generates a Bates cite using if filename is compatible (see below), e.g., `FWS 134` (if the selected text is on page 3 of a file that is named, e.g., `FWS_000131.pdf`)
|
|
- For non-Bates numbered documents, it generates a standardized cite, e.g., `IPCC Report at 5` (if the selected text is on page 5 of a file that is named `IPCC Report.pdf`)
|
|
- Appends Markdown-formatted deeplink to selected text in document to clipboard, using the generated page number (Bates or non-Bates) (see Output Examples below)
|
|
|
|
## Bates-compatible Filenames
|
|
|
|
The script will parse several different Bates-numbered filenaming conventions, including, for example:
|
|
- `FWS 000533.pdf`
|
|
- `FWS-000533.pdf`
|
|
- `FWS_000533.pdf`
|
|
- `NMFS 002561-002985.pdf`
|
|
- `BLM 45.pdf`
|
|
- `BLM_45-62.pdf`
|
|
|
|
Use my `bates` script to quickly rename a batch of PDFs (e.g. a complete administrative record) to be compatible with this script while preserving original names in metadata. [Find it here →](https://sij.ai/sij/pathScripts)
