Hi everyone...I'm in a dilemma. I'm currently finishing off testing a new plugin called MendeleyRefsImport and its going reasonably well. This plugin takes a file exported from Mendeley as EndNotes v8 xml and formats all the selected ref/notes in Chicago Stye(user choice) and then appends them to to your selected chapter or blank reference file in the epub.
It suddenly struck me today that this plugin might also work for an xml file exported from Endnotes v8. I can't test whether this plugin will work on the EndNotes app because I don't have this app on my computer.
So my problems are:
How do I test this plugin on an xml export file from EndNote v8?
How do I name a plugin if it works for both Mendeley and EndNote export files?
If this plugin also worked for EndNote exported xml files, my own preference would be to create two separate plugins -- one called MendeleyRefsImport and the other one called EndNoteRefsImport -- in order to explicitly show that there are two plugins for each of these apps in the Sigil Plugin Index. But the code in these two plugins would be exactly the same. I'm also not sure whether this would be allowed. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone would like to try out my new plugin using an xml export file from either Mendeley or EndNote v8 you can download it -- see below. There's also a README file in the zip file that describes in detail how to use this plugin with Mendeley.
Update: I've decided to download EndNote v8 for a 30 day trial. That should give me ample time to test this plugin with xml export files from EndNote. I'm also hoping that export as xml will be available in the trial version.
