Upgrade StorageBibTex csl file
I have entered a bibtex.csl file into the svn repository[1]. I know that this is just duplicating the functionality of the BibTex export. I need this (for the moment) to extract bibtex entries over the Word/oO integration.js infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to support zotero with my favorite TeX editor (texlipse[2]), but more on this later in another thread.
The current style has a few important shortcomings that some of you might be able to deal with and give recommendations how to proceed.
- citekey generation: there is the obvious problem of generating a unique key that adheres to the bibtex standards and is still usable manually. The first author, first word of the title scheme does not seam to be possible. So I choose all the authors last names separated by _. This does not work though if there is a space in the name...
- special characters: the original export function has a whole list of character translations that can't be performed with the csl. I presume this has to be done at the receiving end.
- missing types/fields: I could not figure out how to access all the information in the csl, so if somebody has some insights into the missing/misspecified fields...
Thanks for any comments
