Hi Tierney, I have written a bibtex plugin, but have not got round to publishing it yet. It converts bibtext to json, within the tiddlywiki - then converts to a tiddler. I was going to put in an option to convert to application/json tiddler as well. It would also be possible to leave the original bibtex format as it is within the body of a tiddler and just use the bibtex title as the tiddler title of the tiddler - it would depend upon the application - search is generally better support on tiddler fields.
Importing a bibtex entity into a tiddlywiki would involve creating a tiddler with the title of the bibtex title and the bibtex entity into the body of the tiddlywiki. At this point either convert to files of *.tid format or use the wiki.files (a tiddlywiki configuration file) to instruct tiddlywiki how to do it automatically, but each file must have it own entry (no wild cards). I have some shell scripts that automatically create the wiki.files for a number of source files, which enables large numbers of files to be automatically inserted into a tiddlywiki. I'll publish the plugin today. cheer BJ On Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at 12:11:16 AM UTC+1, Tierney Coren wrote: > > Hello! > > I've taken on some work using tiddlywiki.
