You can customize the output by providing your own Handlebars template in the "Advanced options" modal. The default templates are located in the `src/templates` folder, and you can use them as a starting point for your own custom templates. For more information on how to use Handlebars templates, please refer to the Handlebars documentation. The context exposed to the templates includes the following properties: type Context = { extension: string; extensionHomepage: string; extensionVersion: string; exportDate: string; numberOfPapers: number; numberOfAnnotations: number; papers: Paper[]; }; type Paper = { error: string; captcha: boolean; title: string; authors: string; year: string; link: string; citation: string; metadata: string[]; annotations: Annotation[]; journal: string; }; export type Annotation = { highlightText: string; note: string; highlightColor: string; context: string; page: number; }; Alternatives Google Scholar Highlights Export
