Re: [Texmacs-dev] Bibliography

[Alvaro Tejero Cantero]

Bas,

See also jabref, it's quite well developed and supports as well the 
lyx-piping mechanism. It has a templating mechanism which would be 
eventually able to output references formatted in a scheme-like fashion.

* tab completion for citation.

Yes, definitely documentation is needed. I can also make a little 
contribution to users of bibliographies in TeXmacs, which I describe next.


"I" designed a macro that makes citations 'active', in that clicking in 
them leads you to the pdf version of the paper. (actually it was my 
idea but it's Henri Lesourd's fault that it got finally implemented)

I want to polish it a little bit more before posting it. In particular, 
since adding a bibliography leads to a worsening of TeXmacs 
performance, I am seeking for a way to have \supercite evaluate to 
\clickmecite if there is no bibliography present, and to a normal but 
also clickable \cite if the user has already inserted a bibliography.

My idea is to insert the bibliography only when finishing the document, 
so as to prevent a slow-down of the editor.

How to check if a concrete environment is present in a document tree?
