Allowed field names

[twsh]

When using biblatex some field names are allowed (and even encouraged in the manual) that are different to those the script looks for.

• 'Journaltitle' is a preferred synonym for 'Journal'
• 'Title' is preferred to 'Booktitle' for the actual title of a book
• For articles, books 'Year' (or 'Date') is preferred to 'Issued'

Of course you're using bibtex conventions so there's no reason for you to have supported these. I think it would be helpful if you had them as options though. Pandoc looks for biblatex formatted files.

Ok, thanks for this suggestion. Do you think simply checking for the additional field names you list is sufficient or should it be fully user-configurable?

[twsh]

I suppose there might be some people who choose other field names. Maybe because they want to use a language other than English? I can't think of another reason to do it.

This is semi-addressed as of 114482dc44 (by also checking for journaltitle , title and year), but without any customizability, so leaving this issue open.
