I'm using biblatex in the TeX preview window. And, since I often
import directly from ISI using the Web of Science Search function, I
get regular errors related to commas in the address or institution
field. Perhaps there is a solution through biblatex to this problem,
but I'm fine with either protecting or deleting the
Address/Institution field on import.
Script hooks seem like the perfect solution to this problem, but I am
not an applescript users. I've tried to cobble something together
based on the available example and got the following which doesn't
appear to work, on import (from Web of Science) nothing happens no
errors no braces. Any nudges in the right direction are appreciated.
I apologize if this has been discussed on the list before, my searches
did not reveal anything aside from confirmation of the biblatex TeX
preview issue.
Cheers
