Though the main problem of course is that you can't easily switch between details, abstract and notes. We could also have two (or more?) templates: one for details and one for abstract/notes, both user customizable. And I personally don't think tex font parsing is that important. It certainly has limited use (e.g. in the title bold doesn't have an effect, and also not all font commands are interpreted). >> Also do we >> need the Linked File as a preview choice, or can the new Files view >> be sufficient? > > That's an open question.
