Question : how to use org-roam-bibtex #245

Closed deb75 closed 1 year ago

deb75 commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I read orb manual but still do not understand clearly what is it for and how to use it.

For citation links, I use org-ref which org-roam recognizes. I can then see citation links in org-roam user interface. With bibtex, it is possible to take notes about an article, book, ... and org-roam user interface is able to check if a citation has some note attached to it or not.

Unfortunately, if citation links do appear in org-roam user interface, clicking on them does not open the file but create an error.

Then, what does org brings more ?

Regards

Hi,

very shortly, ORB enables expansion of Org-roam templates with BibTeX data and a few other things. For example, it provides seamless integration between bibliography managers such as Helm-bibtex, Ivy-bibtex or Citar, and Org-roam. You can find more about ORB in several discussions on Org-roam Discourse: https://org-roam.discourse.group.

If you can do everything you want with Org-roam and plain Bibtex, then you probably don't need ORB.

I have to close this issue because this tracker is used only to track technical issues with ORB or suggest improvements. For general questions about ORB please use https://org-roam.discourse.group.
