As part of my bibliography project (see previous thread,
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/ZKiviPin72c) it occurs
to me that I could import a structured file (a bib file) as a tiddler, and
write macros that search for / extract records from that tiddler. Is
something like that even possible?
Here, for example, is what a bib file with two entries might look like
@InProceedings{Dalgaard2001,
author = {Dalgaard, Rune},
title = {Hypertext and the Scholarly Archive: Intertexts, Paratexts
and Metatexts at Work},
url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/504216.504262},
urldate = {2016-10-17},
}
@Article{Rowan2016,
author = {Rowan, Kyle Edward},
title = {Not Quite a Sunset: a hypertext opera},
date = {2016},
shorttitle = {Not Quite a Sunset},
url = {http://escholarship.org/uc/item/9830g5pn.pdf},
urldate = {2016-10-17},
}
How could I write macros that would allow me to transclude fields/values
from this tiddler, for example:
{{Rowan2016!!url}} to return http://escholarship.org/uc/item/9830g5pn.pdf
{{Rowan2016!!type}} to return @Article (this would be necessary to generate
custom templates based on type)
etc.
I am still interested in parsing this file into separate tiddlers (one for
each @), but the approach outlined above might be easier for me to handle.
Thanks,
//steve.
