Whether or not we include this by default would depend on the performance hit, but it may be fine.

Why not allow the selection of any text to run through our import routine, checking against all available import translators? Then users could highlight inline RIS data, etc. BibTeX would probably be the most commonly used, but the feature might as well be open to others.

Well, that might make more sense for performance reasons, but wouldn't it be preferable to have automatic detection through detectWeb() if feasible? It's possible there could be a meta translator that ran a single regex for the various formats in detectWeb and passed off the match to the respective translator.

If implemented, this might also help with #539.

  • Cc stakats added
  • Milestone changed from 1.0 RC 4 to 1.5 Alpha 1
  • Summary changed from BibTeX-in-content translator to In-content translator
  • Version changed from 1.0 to 1.5

Whatever solution we choose should work for all import formats (and, ​by request, MARC records too).
