[Texmacs-dev] bibliographic data in documents

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

Hi, 
 I would like to ask your opinion about the possibility of having bibliographic 
data embedded in the document instead of having them in a separate bib file. 
Personally, when using LaTeX I avoid to have bibtex files around, I find better 
to have the data inside the TeX file using the amsrefs package  
(http://www.ams.org/publications/authors/tex/amsrefs)  and I manage my 
bibliographic database using Zotero (http://www.zotero.org) which does not rely 
on bibtex files at all. This has the advantage that the TeX file does not need 
a separate bib file to run and also allow some more flexibility like having 
multiple bibliographies in the same file (for example this is useful in a cv 
where you have a list of your papers and maybe a list of external references, 
or various lists of your papers according to different research subjects). 
BibTeX is more rigid about this. 

What  you think about including in TeXmacs the possibility of having the 
bibliographic data inside the document and maybe also the possibility to export 
a LaTeX file using amsrefs instead of bibtex. 


Best
