# import from txt

 * Is there a way to import data from other sources than Bibtex? I’d like to import
   publications from an own datatable (e.g. Excel) by exporting that to a txt-file
   and then import it to teachPress. In order to do that I think I need to know 
   the filed structure and column names of the database of techPress…is there a 
   chance to do that? Where could I find information about the table structure? 
   Thanks in advance 🙂

 * I think it’s easier to create bibtex entries from a database or an excel as to
   import from an excel to teachpress (which is not supported currently). The main
   problem is that you have not only one database table. You need to insert the 
   authors and tags with it’s connections to the publication entry too. This is 
   what the import function does.
