Another thing stored in the DB is which output formats are activated for which collections. (E.g. portfolio format is enabled for Photos collections only.) This is part of the WebSearch Admin interface and people would have to go there after having dropped a new output format in `etc/bibformat/output_formats' anyway, in order to plug it where it belongs. > It is also not frequent that somebody wants to add new output formats, > compared to the need to update them (which is in this case well > covered with the current implementation). Indeed. Adding a new output format is a rare thing, while adding a new format template or a new format element is relatively frequent and is of drop-in nature already. Best regards -- Tibor Simko
