"Citation Based on Current Word / Selection…" with bibitems written on several lines

[odapg]

When your bibliography relies on the "thebibliography" environment and you write the entries on several lines such as

\begin{thebibliograhy}{2}

\bibitem{AE1905}
\newblock Albert Einstein,
\newblock \"Uber die von der molekularkinetischen Theorie der W\"arme geforderte Bewegung von in ruhenden Fl\"ussigkeiten suspendierten Teilchen,
\newblock Annalen der Physik, vol. 17, no 8,‎ 1905, p. 549–560.

\bibitem{AE1945} 
\newblock Alfred Einstein,
\newblock Mozart, His Character, His Work,
\newblock Oxford University Press, 1945.

\end{thebibliograhy}

then when you trigger the "Citation Based on Current Word / Selection…" command, the menu only displays the citation keys ("AE1905", "AE1945"), and not the contents (author/title).

I believe that the reason is that the "recursive_scan" method in "/lib/Ruby/latex.rb" scans the file line by line. I think that a workaround would be to change

  text = File.read(@root)

into

  text = File.read(@root)
  text2 = text.gsub(/^\s*\\bibitem\{([^\}]*)\}\s*/, '\n\\bibitem{\1} ')
  text = text2.gsub(/\s*\\newblock\s*/, ' -- ')

I have tested it, and it works so far. But I am far from being an expert in Ruby and I do not understand the bundle's code in details, so this comes without guarantee...
