org-ref and citar/org-cite compatibility and features #724

Closed deb75 closed 1 year ago

deb75 commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I would like to jump from org-ref to citar/org-cite.

I am just wondering if the citations in my org files, which are based on org-ref : [[cite:&citationkey]] will always be valid with citar/org-cite ?

Furthermore, here is how I configure org-ref for a particular org file

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[citestyle=authoryear-icomp,bibstyle=authoryear, hyperref=true,backref=true,maxcitenames=3,url=false,backend=biber,natbib=true]{biblatex}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \addbibresource{d:/edebry/Documents/reference/bibliography.bib}

Do I need to change this for citar/org-cite ?

Also, a nice feature of org-ref I appreciate is the handling of references, especially that of math environnments. Does citar/org-ref manages these references ?

Regards

Cool!

You may want to read through this page to get a general sense of the place of this package.

https://github.com/emacs-citar/citar/wiki/Comparisons#citar-in-context

On your question, citar defers to org itself for what is and isn't a citation (org does the parsing etc). From that POV, it isn't.

But you can also configure custom major mode functions:

Furthermore, here is how I configure org-ref for a particular org file

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[citestyle=authoryear-icomp,bibstyle=authoryear, hyperref=true,backref=true,maxcitenames=3,url=false,backend=biber,natbib=true]{biblatex}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \addbibresource{d:/edebry/Documents/reference/bibliography.bib}

Do I need to change this for citar/org-cite ?

I don't have time to look into the details on this ATM, but maybe check the org manual? There's also a few good blog posts on org-cite that should explain this. It's easy.

It does sound like you want to use the oc-biblatex export processor, however (if you're using biblatex).

Also, a nice feature of org-ref I appreciate is the handling of references, especially that of math environnments. Does citar/org-ref manages these references ?

You mean cross-references?

No; I consider that out of scope; see #427.

PS - I may convert this to a discussion.
