## Basic usage
10+
11+
When you run one of the scripts, Zotero (which must already be open and have Better BibTeX installed) will appear and open a search box where you can search for the desired citation. Suffixes, prefixes, page numbers and author suppression can be set by clicking the selected citation in the search box and filling out the options, but these do *not* work in MultiMarkdown output. The resultant citation text will then be entered into the app you were working in when you ran the script. Since the script is basically typing the citation into your application, it should work with any word processor (and any others that accept text input as well).

These applets work well in conjunction with this workflow for using [Scrivner, Pandoc, Zotero and Marked 2 for academic writing](http://davepwsmith.github.io/academic-scrivener-howto/).

**N.B** **These applets will type over whatever text you have selected when you call them. You have been warned.**

## With other Apps
23+
24+
One way to use these scripts with any application is to put them in your ~/Library/Scripts folder. Or to use them with one specific app, put them inside a folder with that app's name inside the Scripts folder. If you use a utility that lets you assign key combos to apps, use that to launch these scripts.
