Quick format citation dialog: Insert entire BibTeX record? #387

Closed orschiro closed 8 years ago

orschiro commented 9 years ago

Dear all,

Thanks for your fantastic work! I'm using the following command with a custom keyboard shortcut to call the quick format citation dialog:

elinks "http://localhost:23119/better-bibtex/cayw?format=BibLaTeX&clipboard=yes"

I'm looking for the right format= to paste the entire BibTeX record of a reference.

Any ideas which format is the right one?

Thankfully,

Robert

Wow. That is currently not possible, but I'll have a look at it.

orschiro commented 9 years ago

Dear @retorquere,

That would be great, thank you!

This would ease the workflow with Zotero and Authorea.

retorquere commented 9 years ago

Cool. I'm currently doing performance work on #385 that I want to finish before anything else, after that I'm diving back into features.

There may be another way to get what you want: you could set up git access to your article, set up auto-export in BBT, and then use auto-commit to push it to Authorea. I have not tested this (!!) but in theory that should get you near-realtime updated bib files on Authorea. For autocommit you could use something like SparkleShare or a shell script; there are without a doubt others.

@retorquere

Thanks for your alternative suggestion! I think I would try it out if my initial request is technically not feasible.

I still think it offers many benefits that go beyond the concrete use of Authorea. :)

1.6.1 will be out in a bit, documentation has been updated

orschiro commented 8 years ago

Great, thank you!

I had a look at the documentation and figured must be the following command which, however, only pastes the cite element:

elinks "http://localhost:23119/better-bibtex/cayw?format=translate&translator=csljson&clipboard=yes"
retorquere commented 8 years ago

That URL is correct, and for me it does indeed put the Better CSL JSON reference on the clipboard. Can you submit an error report?

orschiro commented 8 years ago

@retorquere,

Apologies. I forgot to update to v1.6.2....

It is working now! :)

Thanks!

Cool, thanks for the confirmation.
