Description
I do not think the support for custom formatters is working anymore (typical indication: add a formatter without adding it to the huge switch in LayoutEntry leads to no formatter found). Maybe we should confirm that and remove the help text and remaining code.
Or even better: get it back working again.
Refs https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/1144 https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/1114 and more importantly a PR I cannot find where the support was removed.
