Several issues with Citavi

[dawtmaytrikx]

Hi there,

I noticed two things that might not require fixing, but I'd at least want to point out to the next person trying to get this plugin work with Citavi: The regex currently does not capture bibtex keys that contain a period, e. g. @Bermudez.2020. This is the default setting for Citavi, and it took me quite a while to figure out why the plugin wasn't parsing my citations in mkdocs.

Also, enabling the URL-package in Citavi (i. e. rendering the URLs in the bibtex file as url = {\url{https://doi.org/10.21577/0103-5053.20190253}}) causes the following error:

ERROR    -  Error reading page 'sandalwood.md': bad escape \u at position 248
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/sre_parse.py", line 1039, in parse_template
    this = chr(ESCAPES[this][1])
KeyError: '\\u'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Wow, never heard of Citavi til now.

The . not working in cite keys is an actual issue.

The 2nd error is a bit odd. It appears the issue is that escaping in python regex is really complicated. Probably shouldn't use regex here since the plugin already knows the tag to replace.

I'll work on these sometime next week.

I added some tests in #155 and they seem to work. Can you provide a minimal breaking example? Maybe try updating your mkdocs-bibtex version first?

Closing this due to lack of update.
