What it does

Written by AI from the README

Inserts citations and a bibliography from selected Zotero items into a running WordCraft document, from a right-click menu.

Citations are formatted by Zotero in any installed style and sent over WordCraft's local control port, so nothing leaves your computer. For WordCraft users who want Zotero references. Early release: citations go in as plain text.
