A python(?) script to parse citations to the pandoc format #1

Open lsaravia opened 11 years ago

This would be useful to convert manuscripts written with a word processor with embedded citations in the format (Author1 YEAR1, Author2 YEAR2). You can copy&paste the text to an editor save the file and convert citations to [@Author1YEAR1; @Author2YEAR2]

Would be super easy to do. Except the problem is that bibtex tags aren't always in that format. So a lot of manual correction will still be required on the part of the author.

Bibtex tags can be automatically formated by jabref to FirstAuthorYear, if you can convert the citations to the pandoc format you are almost done.
