I'm not seeing any capability to export the Bibliography in any particular format. It might be quite handy though. Is there any chance that Aigaion (http://www.aigaion.nl/) might be a useful code base to extract?

rjerome commentedI took a quick look at Aigaion, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to export formated entires either.
I suspect what you are looking for is a "rich text" type of export. Which is doable and has been on my todo list for some time.

tcblack commentedYou are correct I saw that Aigaion claimed to export Turabian, and it does export fields in the correct order for Turabian but does not properly indent or italicize. It's too bad I can't code my way out of a wet paper sack. I've got ideas but no talent. :-)

kbk commentedAny chance of adding "export to rich text" to the To do list?
Here would be my uses:
-Students use our bibliography and it would be nice if they could export styled entries and paste them directly into their papers.
-This would also be useful for reporting purposes (e.g., these are our publications for 2009.)
Work arounds:
- export the entries from biblio, import them into another software package (e.g., Endnote) and then copy the styled version
- copy the teaser directly off the web page, paste into working document and remove hyperlinks and other links like "abstract" and "tagged".
- Any other ways to accomplish this?
Thanks a bajillion for all the features that already exist.

rjerome commentedI don't think that's a big deal, I'll look into it.

kbk commentedHi Ron,
A colleague and I are going to attempt a patch to accomplish this. Any suggestions/considerations you would like to raise beforehand?

rjerome commentedYep, I suggest you download the latest -dev release, cause I just checked in the RTF export feature ;-)
(http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=384188)
To see the RTF export links, you will have to enable them, see the links section of the /admin/settings/biblio page.
Let me know what you think,
Ron.

cvknl commentedHi Ron,
This matches exactly the functionality that i need for my project, many thanx for that!
I have a suggestion for the rtf export, there are still non breaking spaces ( ) in the exported text, do you think these can be removed in the export?

kbk commentedWorks great for me. This will really help keep our students' bibliographies clean.
