Will this new module also provide BibX support? Perhaps ;)
On the input side, the new module will load bibliographies from disk into an internal XML structure and then use lpath queries to fetch bibliographic data. It will use separate loaders to do so, so in the end, anything can be plugged in as long as it can be converted to the internal structure. Why not just a lua table to save the data?
Yes, I was wondering the same thing. This is typically how the various CSL implementations work; parse the input data (XML, RDF, BibTeX, etc.) into some internal structure.
just because the xml subsystem has some nice filtering and fetching built in (kind of xpath); internally the xml tree is of course a table, so it's no big deal to directly build that table without having xml, but ther ei sno need to invent yet another interface to such a datastructure Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
