Feature Request: Pick own bibliography style #7

Closed laleleoni closed 2 years ago

laleleoni commented 2 years ago

Feature Requested

I love this workflow - thanks so much for the amazing work! Being able to paste the full bibliographic entry into emails is a very practical feature, however doing so in APA 6th has a big disadvantage for someone working in German : Capitalization in titles is not working. Can this be changed in the script (or a different bibliography style be chosen), and if yes, how so? Since I don't understand the whole workflow I don't want to temper with it...

Thank you!

Actually, that isn't a problem with APA 6th, and would occur with any other citation style as well. In the bibtex format, you needs curly braces {} to preserve capitalization.

So you rather need to adjust some setting for the tool you use to generate the bibtex file – this is unfortunately not something I can change on my end, sorry!

Hi Chris, thanks a lot - that's helpful (I wasn't aware, but it seems like Bookends can do that). On another note: the pasting function using ⌘⌥ + ↵ has stopped working altogether for me, as of today... Did you change anything else?

hmm, well I did push some updates today, but ⌘⌥ + ↵ works without any issue on my end? 🤔

Try updating / reinstalling the workflow, there have been a lot of smaller updates today. and if the issue still persists, open a bug report? (reason being that the bug report formula includes a lot of info on troubleshooting.)

Problem solved ! I updated but it was apparently due to a missing citekey, as I learnt from the debugger. Thanks for the hint (hadn't used it before, still very new to Alfred)

PS - sorry to bother you once more but I still have a question about capitalization : Do you really think it's best for someone compiling a bibliography in German to wrap all titles in double { } ? Since LaTeX bibliography styles can handle capitalization independent of the bib file, I'm hesitant to configure Bookends so that all my titles will be wrapped in curly braces in the bib file, because that will limit the customizability I have with bibliography styles... I am assuming Pandoc can't do that. Is that correct ?

tbh, I have no idea about Latex, since I only use pandoc and as far as know, the curly braces do not matter for pandoc (except as information for capitalization)? 😕

sorry, I use pandoc and markdown exactly because latex is a bit over my head 🙈

laleleoni commented 1 year ago

Ha - I thought it was the opposite way around - LaTeX definitely being easier than what you're doing. Thanks in any case !
