Why should >it be so hard? Formatting from discrete database fields is fairly easy: taking apart variable data such as a formatted bibliography is much more difficult. This is a case where human pattern-matching is far superior to computers. We have a hard enough time programming EndLink to import files with tags and regular formats -- bibliographies are much harder. We are investigating the possibility of using artificial intelligence for this task, and will let you know as soon as we have something working.
