Add bibtex support to load_data() #1190
Conversation
Sure, no problem.
Yes, it's widely used in academia as a way to store bibliography entries. Some people keep files with hundreds of entries. For people wanting to showcase their publications on their site it's a lot easier to automatically convert them to site content. One possible alternative to this patch is to use some script to convert from bibtex to json or md, but that complicates the flow somewhat. |

I would actually love this feature. Right now I have a hacky work around for my own website. Is this gonna get merged anytime soon? |

It's just missing the updated documentation |
|
Sorry, my bad, still wasn't able to get this done.. |
Bibtex tags are case-insensitive, and this works around tera's case-sensitiveness.

I've updated the documentation, sorry for how long that took.. The whole documentation for 'load_data' did get a bit long. Do you think it's still manageable, or should 'overview.md' be split somehow? I'll have some time in the following days to work on that if you think it's worth it. |

Yeah this page will need to be split at some point... thanks! |

Discourse thread open here.
The changes are fairly small and innocuous, but for people working in academia it's a pretty big deal.
