1 #+TITLE: Org-ref - The best reference handling for org-mode
7 This document is an experiment at creating a literate program to provide similar features as reftex for org-mode referencing. These features include:
9 1. using completion to create links
10 2. storing links to places,
11 3. Clickable links that do useful things
12 4. Exportable links to LaTeX
13 5. Utility functions for dealing with bibtex files and org-files
15 Some additional features include
16 1. Get minibuffer messages for the cite/ref/label link under point
18 With helm integration (default) you can:
20 1. C-c ] to insert a citation link
22 - Enter to insert or append citation(s)
23 - C-u Enter to insert an alternative cite link
24 - C-u C-u Enter to replace the citation at point
25 2. C-u C-c ] to insert a ref link with helm completion
26 3. C-u C-u C-c ] to insert a label with completion
27 4. M-x org-ref to get a helm completion buffer with link checks, utilities and export options

311 ** Messages for context under mouse pointer
312 Sometimes, when reading a document, I actually use the mouse more than the cursor. This code enables the mouse cursor to trigger a message in the minibuffer about what is under the cursor. I run this on a timer.
314 The basic idea here is to get the mouse position, and if we can determine there is a character that (point) can move to, we move (point) and run the org-ref-link-message function. Since this runs on a timer, we store the last mouse position, and only run the function when the mouse has moved to avoid getting messages every time the timer runs.
316 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle org-ref.el

430 Most of this library is the creation of functional links to help with references and citations.
432 We need several general utilities for this module. They are organized here. We frequently need to remove white space from the front and back of a string. Here we do that for a string.

454 Reftex is no longer being developed. I want a url and doi option for formatting, so I am modifying this [[file:emacs-24.3/lisp/textmodes/reftex-cite.el::(defun%20reftex-format-citation%20(entry%20format)][function]] from reftex-cite to provide that. We need to modify the reftex-get-bib-field code a bit to remove enclosing braces and quotes so we can make nice looking links.

468 "return a formatted string for the bibtex entry (from bibtex-parse-entry) according

473 %l The BibTeX label of the citation.
474 %a List of author names, see also `reftex-cite-punctuation'.
475 %2a Like %a, but abbreviate more than 2 authors like Jones et al.
476 %A First author name only.
477 %e Works like %a, but on list of editor names. (%2e and %E work a well)
479 It is also possible to access all other BibTeX database fields:
480 %b booktitle %c chapter %d edition %h howpublished
481 %i institution %j journal %k key %m month
482 %n number %o organization %p pages %P first page
483 %r address %s school %u publisher %t title
485 %B booktitle, abbreviated %T title, abbreviated
490 Usually, only %l is needed. The other stuff is mainly for the echo area
491 display, and for (setq reftex-comment-citations t).
493 %< as a special operator kills punctuation and space around it after the
494 string has been formatted.
496 A pair of square brackets indicates an optional argument, and RefTeX
497 will prompt for the values of these arguments.

657 I do not have plans to make a numbered bibliography with numbered citations anytime soon. This will require changing the way the citation links are exported, and keeping track of the numbers.
659 *** An org bibliography
660 You can export an org-file to an org-file or org-buffer (org-org-epxort-as-org). In this case, it would be useful convert the cite links to links to custom_ids, and the bibliography link to a first-level heading Bibliography with org-bibtex like headings for each entry. This code should enable this. Right now, it does not appear to work for org export though.
662 First, we get the string for a single entry.

733 We use a link for the bibliography so that we can click on it to open the bibliography file. The link may have more than one bibliography file in it, separated by commas.

1571 This is the main reason this library exists. We want the following behavior. A cite link should be able to contain multiple bibtex keys. You should be able to click on the link, and get a brief citation of the entry for that key, and a menu of options to open the bibtex file, open a pdf if you have it, open your notes on the entry, or open a url if it exists. You should be able to insert new references onto an existing cite link, or create new ones easily. The following code implements these features.

1625 We also need to find which bibliography file that key is in. For that, we need to know which bibliography files are referred to in the file. If none are specified with a bibliography link, we use the default bibliography. This function searches for a bibliography link, and then the LaTeX bibliography link.

2006 Next, we define a formatting function for the cite link. This is done so that the cite link definition is very short, and easy to change. You just need to specify the functions in the definition. This function is deprecated. The formatting is defined later automatically.

2029 There are many different kinds of citations in LaTeX, but they are all variants of a basic syntax of \citetype[optional text]{label1,label2}. Here we use lisp to generate the link definitions. We define a function that creates the code to create the link, and then we evaluate it. We also create the completion function for the new link, and add it to the list of known links.

2242 Finally, put \makeindex at the end of the document where you want the index to appear. You will need to run the makeindex program at an appropriate point in your LaTeX to pdf, or use ox-manuscript, which will do it for you.
2245 Use index links to create entries (see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Indexing). Clicking on an index link runs occur on the buffer for the entry. The link exports to LaTeX. Some links may need to be enclosed in double brackets if they have spaces in them.
