The file is formatted like this (each citation is separated with 2 new lines):
Code:
**> date here
**> book filename without path here
**> book name and author from meta data
citation text (can be multi-line)
**> date here
**> book filename without path here
**> book name and author from meta data
citation text (can be multi-line)

Could you please support this? |
It should be supportable. It will really depend on the exact format and whether it is easily reachable when the device is connected. To do it, someone would need more details about the exact format of the file. IFor example, what is the date format? Or how are the title and author split? How does it handle simple highlights versus annotations. Looking at a real example should show this.
But, I don't usually code the support for devices or apps that I don't use. The plugin is expandable and I encourage people to do this. Then I can add it to the plugin for others to use. And, I don't remember hearing about AlReader before. I don't know anything about it including how popular it is.
If you can post a real example, I might have a look at it. But, I am making no promises as to if or when I do it.
