Add annotated bibliography export option

[stakats]

To export an annotated bibliography, we'll need the following functionality:

1) ability to flag one note per item as "annotation" (just like we currently do with "abstract"

2) some kind of UI element, like a checkbox in the export dialog, that allows the user to indicate that the exported bibliography will be annotated

3) update export code to add that annotation as each entry is streamed to the exported bibliography

It is probably possible to reuse the existing code for this, in an old revision for back when you could set a note as an abstract. See ticket #905 - maybe one solution would work for both tickets.

So you mean flag a note as "annotation"? It's a fairly specialized option, but annotated bibliographies are very useful for distribution to students. The other option is to improve report generation such that it can effectively serve an annotated bibliography, but there still needs to be some way for the user to indicate which note(s) should be displayed for each item.

We could probably get by without it initially, but this probably is dependent on #672.

For reports, the option to select notes is already available with combineChildItems turned on--then the report diplays the parent first, and the selected note(s) right after. All that remains to be done is to format the parent item as a reference instead of a list of fields (using default output format setting maybe?). People would still want an option to export annotated bibliographies in RTF format though.

[dstillman]

Good point. We've been planning to have report generation pop up an options window that would let you select formatting options, and that could include an option to use a bibliography style in place of the list of fields.

Unfortunately the RTF generation code (that is, the bibliography generation code) is completely different and doesn't support selecting notes in the same way.

Some users have tweaked their CSLs to do this. Is there something very basic, like flagging notes as annotations, that we can do to make this work with special CSLs?

Just added Chicago Annotated Bibliography style as a temporary workaround, using the extra field for annotations. Please delete when this ticket is closed.
