Markdown Export Formatter

[LinusDietz]

I quickly implemented an export format in a specific (admittedly, opinionated) format to Markdown... I find the format useful to put on websites that uses Markdown as input format website.

For anybody who's interested, the command I use to generate the list of the website is:

jabref -n -i literature.bib --exportMatches '(author="dietz"  and (entrytype=="article" or entrytype="inProceedings" or entrytype="inCollection"))',test.md,title-md

Mandatory checks

• [x] I own the copyright of the code submitted and I licence it under the MIT license
• [x] Change in CHANGELOG.md described in a way that is understandable for the average user (if change is visible to the user)
• [X] Tests created for changes (if applicable)
• [X] Manually tested changed features in running JabRef (always required)
• / Screenshots added in PR description (for UI changes)
• [x] Checked developer's documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not, I outlined it in this pull request.
• [x] Checked documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not, I created an issue at https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/issues or, even better, I submitted a pull request to the documentation repository.

Yes, preferences save order. Maybe we can make it somewhat customizable in the layout files in a follow up?

You can define the export save order here:

but... can you do it in the cli from e.g. a github action?

Currently not possible, create a preferences file (export xml) and then you can import it via cli , "-p prefs.xml"

Typically, CSL styles are used for it - and one can select "copy as text"

I know, the DOI is not linked. I filed a feature request upstream: https://github.com/michel-kraemer/citeproc-java/issues/252
