Rename cleanup actions: "Prepare for LaTeX" and "Prepare for BibTeX"

See original GitHub issue

When this first came up: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/8490#issuecomment-1091209909

My Problem:

Cleanup actions are not well described and contrary to users intuitive thought.

I always thought the “LaTeX cleanup” action would remove LaTeX code so that the entries will be rendered well via CSL entry preview or alternatively that the entries will be rendered well when using them with OpenOffice/LibreOffice, but instead this action mostly removes characters (via RegEx) that hinder the bibliographic data to be used with LaTeX. Therefore, this cleanup-action does not convert from LaTeX to “something else”, but rather it goes the opposite direction.

Solution:

Make it more transparent to the user, which of the clenaup actions are advised to be used when trying to use the entries with LaTeX and Bibtex.

~Make ready for LaTeX:~

~- [ ] Rename “LaTeX cleanup” action to Make ready for LaTeX: Cleanup~ ~- [ ] Rename “Unicode to LaTeX” to Make ready for LaTeX: Unicode to LaTeX~ ~- [ ] Rename “HTML to LaTeX” to Make ready for LaTeX: HTML to LaTeX~ ~- [ ] Rename “Ordinals to LaTeX superscript” to Make ready for LaTeX: Ordinals to LaTeX superscript~ ~- [ ] Rename “Units to LaTeX” to Make ready for LaTeX: Units to LaTeX~

Prepare for LaTeX:

  • Rename “LaTeX cleanup” action to Prepare for LaTeX: Cleanup
  • Rename “Unicode to LaTeX” to Prepare for LaTeX: Unicode to LaTeX
  • Rename “HTML to LaTeX” to Prepare for LaTeX: HTML to LaTeX
  • Rename “Ordinals to LaTeX superscript” to Prepare for LaTeX: Ordinals to LaTeX superscript
  • Rename “Units to LaTeX” to Prepare for LaTeX: Units to LaTeX

~Make ready for BibTeX:~ ~- [ ] Rename “Normalize month” to Make ready for BibTeX: Normalize month~ ~- [ ] Rename “Normalize names of persons” to Make ready for BibTeX: Normalize names of persons~ ~- [ ] Rename “Normalize pagenumbers” to Make ready for BibTeX: Normalize pagenumbers~

Prepare for BibTeX:

  • Rename “Normalize month” to Prepare for BibTeX: Normalize month
  • Rename “Normalize names of persons” to Prepare for BibTeX: Normalize names of persons
  • Rename “Normalize pagenumbers” to Prepare for BibTeX: Normalize pagenumbers

Instead of “Make LaTeX ready: …” I think “Prepare for LaTeX …” might be grammatically more sound. Let’s go with that? What do you say?

Also, actually I am not completely sure if the “LaTeX cleanup” action prepares for LaTeX or if it prepares for something else. Needs investigation. See documentation about clean up entries: https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/saveactions

I think it good. OK, let’s go with that’.
