Announcing BibTeX Plugin version 0.1.0
This is the first official release of the plugin. You can find more details here.
The following features are included in the initial release:
Register the "BibTeX Plugin" section in the config screen to allow the user to specify the source of references.
Parse the .bib file specified by the user into JSON format.
Added a toolbar button that triggers the main command of the plugin: addBibTeXRefernce Command.
Added a dialog that pops up when the command is invoked to display a list of imported references.
Allow the user to choose a reference from the list in order to be inserted into the note content.
I encourage everyone to install the plugin and play a bit with it. (It still lacks so many features though ). As always, all suggestions, issues, pull requests are welcomed.
My bib file was exported from Mendeley and the plugin failed initially, I had to manually check the bib file for some errors (e.g. no entry key for this item @techreport{,). Is there some way to show these errors on Joplin? Line number where the parsing fails maybe.
A "nice to have" option would be to create a new note with the information from the bib file with title, abstract etc. This way one can quickly find a reference and read all the information without leaving joplin.
Thanks for the quick reply and taking care of the bugs.
Typically the drop down can include title, author, year, and once selected only the author and year are included. Multiple references are separated by semicolons, see below examples.
