Steve, Using Jed's citation library worked very well for my immediate requirements.
The only gripe I have is that it creates multiple tiddlers for each reference (never got around to figuring out what exactly was going on under the hood), which made things a tad confusing. In hindsight this would be best used with the 'server' version of TW (ie using nodeJS), then with each reference in a separate tiddler file they would be more easily updated, usefull if you use are researching across the web, as you can then use zotero to collect the data and export to bibref, then import (for jed's library this means 'copy/paste') into TW worked rather well ~ I assume this could be easily automated as Zotero and BibTex format can be easily exported to XML, which could then be parsed using JS into the required 'citation library' fields. The reason for using the nodeJS is that this would mean you only need to update a single file and it would be available to all your TW wikis simultaneously, otherwise you store a single file html of just the references and import this flat TW into your other TWs on each update, hence node in this instance would make for an easier workflow (and reduce out of data tw files on your pc / web page). For me however I appreciate being able to keep my TW files as a single self contained html+JS file, which ca be done exporting a nodeJS TW to a 'normal' TW (although there currently seem no good solution for attached image files ~ see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/od-d1E9uPQM) or again you can create a static page http://tiddlywiki.com/static/Generating%2520Static%2520Sites%2520with%2520TiddlyWiki.html . The problem seems to reside in links to the attached images / files etc, but I guess your could always do a wget on the pages (which seems to pull everything from a site !).
