I have to do the following with a Writed document: - The author of an article has a biblio database, in some format. The format is known, the database can be accessed easily, no problem with that. - When she writes the article she wants to put only a short reference to an article in the text. The reference is her own creation, but it is a unique key for the database. - When she is ready, she wants a piece of code to run through the article and replace the references with data extracted from the database in a format specified by her and then generate a bibliography at the end of the document, in the format specified by her. - Preferably the last step is reversible or is done in such a way that the original reference is not lost.
Basically, she wants to write the text blah blah blah (see MYREF28) blah blah (or actually insert a field containing MYREF28) and after the processing step the (visible) text is changed to blah blah blah (see SomeName,93) blah blah and at the end of the documents an automatically generated entry SomeName et al, Great Famous Paper 1993 issue 4 pp beg-end with each field have its font, modifiers and whatnot specified as per the requirements of the particular journal. Using MYREF28 as key, all info can be extracted from the database, of course. With regards to the above I have 2 questions: 1) Can you do that with OO's BASIC? Can you actually generate text that behaves as a field by using BASIC? 2) If yes, is there some docs on OO's Basic somewhere on the 'Net with enough info to write such a beast?
