Dear all,
I am on my way to switch using BibLaTeX. I would like to continue using
referencer. My idea is to extend referencer to show all the entry/field
tipyes supported by BibLaTeX. I tried to do it with a plug-in but it
seems that the python binding has no access to all the classes.
I will need help by extending the python binding in the following ways
registerField
1) Have access to the DocumentTypeManager class to use registerField
and be able to add DocumentType for the new documents types.
2) Because biblatex allow a great number of fields, the
documentproperties.ui should be changed.
I think that fields should be have a property that mandatory/optional[*]
as mentioned in the biblatex documentation.
I would show the mandatory fields as it is done now in referencer and I
would group all the optional in a GTKexpander as it is done for the
extra fields (but show all the possibilities for each document type as
with the regular fields).
Ideally it should be done by a plug-in (I guess there is lot of people
that would like to stay with plain BibTeX). I am not sure which part
could be accessed at start up by python.
What do you think about it?
Best regards,
Zunbeltz
[*] The fields are not really mandatory as in the BibTeX case.
