Style files (was Re: [Texmacs-dev] Ping!)

[Amit Dubey]

Dear Joris & list,

I would be very interested in style file importing. I also have an 
interest in better compatibility with bibtex style files.  I am willing 
to contribute code for the latter. I am in the last (somewhat stressed) 
stages of writing my dissertation, and I'd like to fix some things that 
don't seem to be working very well for me. Most importantly, I'd like to 
be able to make citations using the following guidelines:

Several months ago, I sent a message to the users list asking if this 
was already possible, but got no replies... I assume it is not.  I 
haven't yet had a chance to look very closely at the code, though. But I 
do plan to do so soon... If anyone could send some tips on where to 
start looking, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Amit Dubey
