Description
According to http://www.bibtex.org/SpecialSymbols/, it is allowed to enclose text in braces:
"Text that is enclosed in braces is marked not to be touched by any formating instructions. For instance, when a style defines the title to become depicted using only lowercase, italic letters, the enclosed part will be left untouched. "An Introduction To {BibTeX}" would become ,,an introduction to the BibTeX'' when such a style is applied. Nested braces are ignored."
When exporting from Mendeley, some texts are enclosed in double braces, which seems allowed, but should be ignored. However, docendo will import the text within single braces instead of ignoring the obsolete braces.

- Status changed from New to Closed
- Target version set to 3.3.3
Braces in text will now be ignored when converting BibTeX to HTML. Braces will still be stored internally and exported to BibTeX so that the original string stays intact.

Braces should also be ignored in the resource title (in the resource browser etc.)
