Great, I hope it does the trick. A deserialiser, by the way, is a JS module that extracts tiddlers from a block of text. The same deserialisers are used in the browser during the import process, and under Node.js by the --load command. > This will help me and others who need bibliographic management within > TiddlyWiki, and allow us to move TW forward as a serious academic tool, > including being able to write (and publish) journal articles, books, etc. > > 40 minutes!

The field conversion done at the moment doesn't make any attempt to extract tags, for instance. When you've had a chance to play around it would be helpful if you could map out a more useful mapping, and we'll figure out a way to configure the conversion process.
