Hi Tierney,
when you drop a file onto the tiddlywiki it is handled here:
DropZoneWidget.prototype.handleDropEvent
In this function there is a call to
this.wiki.readFiles
That function looks at the file extension of the file that was drop and
calls the deserialiser for that type of file. So in your deserialiser you
would call the bibtex parser to do the conversion.
Once the deserialiser has run, the resultant tiddlers are imported.
so you only need to write the deserialiser and register the file extension.
In my widget the text of the bibtex would need to be entered into the
widget (I would add a text input to make it easer)
<$button>
<$action-bibtex source="""@article{yesilada201526, title={112226 th ACM
International Conference on Hypertext and Social Media}, author={Yesilada,
Yeliz and Celik, Ilknur and Farzan, Rosta and Houben, Geert-Jan},
journal={ACM SIGWEB Newsletter}, number={Winter}, pages={1}, year={2015},
publisher={ACM} }"""/>
convert me!
</$button>
cheers
BJ
