Use Citeproc for citation styles

[bennyboer]

We could use something like citeproc-java to support a lot of citation styles without a lot more work!

During testing I found that this will lead to a vast performance loss when building the document. We need to introduce some kind of caching for already built stuff (when the literature source file *.tdr) has not changed.

TODO

• [x] New attribute the the info file: bibliography where the value is a bibliography file (supporting BibTex, EndNote and RIS (supported by citeproc-java)).
• [x] Loading bibliography file (from info file) for citeproc-java using a new generic citation style class (CSLCitationStyle maybe?).
• [x] Using the new CSLCitationStyle class for citations and generating bibliography leveraging citeproc-java
• [x] Caching
  • [x] Cache already generated citations and the previous bibliography in the user folder under ~/.thaw/cache/citation/ -> only regenerate when really needed to save time
  • [x] When bibliography file is changed -> Update cached bibliography
  • [x] When a new source is referenced using the #CITE# thingy (not yet in the bibliography!) -> Update cached bibliography, but do not regenerate the already used citation strings (only the new one)
  • [x] When an already existing source is referenced using the #CITE# thingy (already in bibliography) -> Do not update cached bibliography, generate only the new citation string for the thingy

Estimated to be done by 18th of September

Example

Info file:

encoding = UTF-8
language = en

bibliography.file = refs.bib
bibliography.style = apa

Bibtex file (refs.bib)

@INPROCEEDINGS{Shor,
    author = {P. W. {Shor}},
    booktitle = {Proceedings 35th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science},
    title = {Algorithms for quantum computation: discrete logarithms and factoring},
    year = {1994},
    pages = {124-134} }

Thaw document text file (*.tdt)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, 
sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, 
sed diam voluptua #CITE, 'Shor, locator=page 124'#.
