OK, I’ve bowed to the inevitable and spent 40 minutes whipping up a basic BibTeX importer plugin, based on a JavaScript BibTeX parser that I found. You can try it out at: http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftiddlywiki%2Fbibtex <http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease#$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/bibtex> I found that your .bib file at https://stevesunypoly.updog.co/bibtex/first-jabref-bibtex-db.bib <https://stevesunypoly.updog.co/bibtex/first-jabref-bibtex-db.bib> gives an error unless I remove the final line: @Comment{jabref-meta: databaseType:bibtex;} I’ve only done the most basic field conversion: * title comes from citationKey * bibtex-entry-type comes from entryType * all entryTags are assigned to fields with the prefix “bibtex-“ Let me know how you get on, Best wishes Jeremy > On 18 Oct 2016, at 17:13, Steven Schneider <[email protected]> wrote: > > As part of my bibliography project (see previous thread, > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/ZKiviPin72c > <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/ZKiviPin72c>) it occurs > to me that I could import a structured file (a bib file) as a tiddler, and > write macros that search for / extract records from that tiddler.
