Will this new module also provide BibX support? Perhaps ;)
On the input side, the new module will load bibliographies from disk into an internal XML structure and then use lpath queries to fetch bibliographic data. It will use separate loaders to do so, so in the end, anything can be plugged in as long as it can be converted to the internal structure. Why not just a lua table to save the data?
Yes, I was wondering the same thing. This is typically how the various CSL implementations work; parse the input data (XML, RDF, BibTeX, etc.) into some internal structure.
I was't clear enough. "internal XML structure" actually is a lua table structure. It just follows a bunch of special rules that make lpath queries work. Best wisehes, Taco
