[PATCH] org-bibtex-yank: Allow to populate existing item

[Martin Kampas <martin.kampas@ubedi.net>]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 181 bytes --]

Hi,

The attached patch allows to use org-bibtex-yank to 
populate an existing item instead of creating a new one, 
aligning its behavior with org-bibtex-create.

BR,
Martin Kampas

Subject: [PATCH] org-bibtex-yank: Allow to populate existing item

Align with org-bibtex-create.

* lisp/ol-bibtex.el (org-bibtex-write): New optional argument nonew,
  similar to the existing nonew argument of org-bibtex-create
* lisp/ol-bibtex.el (org-bibtex-yank): New optional argument nonew,
  similar to the existing nonew argument of org-bibtex-create
