Customisation

The defaults work. Adapt what does not fit.

Highlight colours

Map other Zotero colours to imported sections.

In 9 Orga/Templates/Literature Note.md, copy the ### Key terms block, change Yellow → e.g. Red and hltr-greenhltr-red. The CSS at .obsidian/snippets/zotero-highlights.css already styles all 8 Zotero colours; no CSS edit needed.

Citation style

Word: Zotero toolbar → Document Preferences → Style. LaTeX: edit style=authoryear in thesis.cls.

Vault folder names

Only 0 Meta/, 1 Literature/, 2 Wiki/, and 9 Orga/ are referenced by templates and scripts. The rest are free.

If you rename 1 Literature/, update the constant at the top of:

  • 0 Meta/Library/fetch_metrics.py
  • 0 Meta/Library/fetch_references.py
  • 0 Meta/Library/fetch_search.py
LIT_DIR = VAULT_ROOT / "1 Literature"

Institute thesis template

Run the inspector against your institutes Word template:

python3 0 Meta/Library/inspect_docx.py /path/to/Thesis_Template.docx

It prints page geometry, fonts, heading hierarchy, colours, numbering — everything needed to write a matching thesis.cls.
