In bibtex export, add an option to include i-librarian tags in the bibtex "keywords" field

[gapost]

This would be helpful in order to use the bibliographic database in other programs.

In my case, i frequently export the whole database as a bibtex file and import it in Zotero, in order to easily use its "connectors" to Word/LibreOffice (in the rare cases i use these programs). Then I miss my tags there, to help organize the entries.

It may seem that this feature would facilitate someone to go towards the "competition", however i believe that open source programs should foster interoperability and not pose barriers to the users. It will ultimately be a plus for I-Librarian.

Will mixing tags with standard keywords become a problem? Is there any other Bibtex tag we could use?

Our customers are free to leave to competition. If they do, it's only our fault.

Yes, maybe this would be a problem for some users.

I would suggest something like:

1. By default, export the I-Librarian tags in a new bibtex field (e.g. "tags")
2. Put an on/off option under "Global settings" that says "Export I-Librarian tags as keywords in BibTeX"
