Export entry as bibtex

Open oatmealm opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Great!

I was thinking when I saw this mode that it might be useful to have a yank-as-bibtex-entry creating a properly formatted snippet of a bibtex entry (which can be then pasted in an ebib buffer, or bib file etc.)

I like the functionality, could be useful. Although I don't really know about bibtex, which entry type it should be? @misc? If you have an idea, can you share a snippet?

I think bibtex means @misc while biblatex has @movie and @video which I understand will be treated depending on which ref management package/software you use. I saw that zotero treats this as @book in export.

I guess looking up which dialect is preferred by the user (bibtex-dialect), if set, might be the way to go?

This thread might be helpful and has some examples https://tug.org/pipermail/biblio/2012q2/000028.html
