Item8440: Expand Macros in References

Current State: Closed

Macros in References get not expanded. This would be nice for example to show an Icon or so:

| *Key* | *Description* |
| ref1 | R. Eference, bla ha ha, 2010 [[http://somewhere/document.pdf][%ICON{"pdf"}%]] |

The following change in BibliographyPlugin.pm seems to solve the problem.

@@ -144,3 +144,3 @@
 # in Foswiki:Extensions/DeprecatedHandlers.
-sub preRenderingHandler
+sub beforeCommonTagsHandler
 {

But honestly, I don't now about collateral impact or potential danger of this change.

I'm also not sure about what impact this change might have for existing users of the plugin. Have you done much testing with existing bibliographies?

I will see if I can test this and if it doesn't break existing users then I am happy to make the change.

I did some testing and this looks like a good change, so have updated the plugin and uploaded a new version.
