Users _are_ requesting all kind of LateX support. We cannot do all, period. The same applies to BibTeX. We support what we support, and I reckon we don't support much right now. I'd really like to have a more capable bibliography support internally. > > And we won't be able to get rid of \bibitem support anyway, since this > is needed in some cases (and some people actually prefer that). I reckon people won't see the the difference between the two backend. If we can extent the bibitem support to define title, author, etc, then that that's fine with me. But at this point, it would then be stupid (IMHO) to not switch to BibTeX... Abdel.
