Re: [Bibdesk-users] Modify the exported bibitem command
Thank you for your help.
I realise that using the drag and drop bibitem is really easier and nicer
than using my inadequate export template. Using an appropriate and modified
bst style, I can have exactly what I want for the author format. But I still
wondering how can I tune the exported fields. I added the DOI field in the
Preference Panes / Default fields / Advanced : Custom BibTex Types and
Fields in the optional fields of article but when I right-click on a paper
to get the LaTeX command, the DOI field is not in the bibitem output. Is
this depending on the bst file I use?
I also have a question about the preference panes. In the BibDesk manual
(here : http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_60.html#SEC117 ),
for Copying and Dragging there are a default and an alternate formats. In
my version of BibDesk (i.e. 1.3.10), I selected the bibitem export as an
alternate format and there is a model option with choice between : item1,
item2, and item3. Is this a way to tune the bibitem command? (the exported
fields).
Thank you in advance,
Julie

Dear BibDesk users,
Till now, I was using BibDesk to manage my bibliography database, annotate
it, link with the pdf, and this is just great ! Can't remember how I did
before??? (the combination with Skim is also great, no need to print all
papers : comments in BibDesk and highlights in the paper with Skim). And
then, generate the bibliography for a paper.
But I am using LaTeX with the thebibliography environment. I would like
to be able to choose the fields for the bibitem command. In particular, I
added the doi field by default for all my paper cards and I would like
to export it in the bibitem command. I also would like the field author to
be in this form :
McCracken, M., A. Maxwell, C. M. Hofman, S. S. Porst, J. Howison, M.
Routley, and S. Spiegel
(with firstname of the first author in the lastname, firstname format
while other author names are in firstname lastname order).
To do that, I created my own tex template for articles :
$publications
\bibitem[???]{$citeKey/}
\textbf{[EMAIL PROTECTED]/}
($fields.Year/).
$fields.Title/,
\textit{$fields.Journal.stringByRemovingTeX/},
\textbf{$fields.Volume/}[EMAIL PROTECTED]($fields.Number/)/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:$fields.Pages/[EMAIL PROTECTED],
doi:$fields.Doi//[EMAIL PROTECTED].
/$publications
But the DOI field is just ignored, and I also have a problem for the
parameter in the bibitem command (\bibitem[], I can't generate what
I want : an author-year citation form ). And I can't export the author
names in the format I would like (sure I could do it by hand... but knowing
me, this would be a way to generate a lot of mistakes !).
Is there a way to solve this? What did I miss?
Many thanks in advance and thank you so much to the developers,
Julie
@nonEmpty is a modifier for a collection (filters out empty fields from a
collection), so that should be used in something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]. However fields.Doi is a single field, not a
collection, so you should use it in a value tag and/or a condition tag. In
your case you should use something like:
$fields.Doi?, doi:$fields.Doi//fields.Doi?
Similar for Number.

Also I don't know where the problem is coming from, whether it is BibDesk or LaTeX or who knows. Any ideas about how to solve this without deleting my Abstracts? The fact that the (I assume LaTeX) preview shows the abstract or not depend on the BibTeX style selected in the preferences. You can: - select another style and check what suits you - create a new style with makebst (included with you latex distro somewhere in the bibtex part) and explicitly tell it not to include abstract or notes. check the documentation on where to put the new style and rebuild your tex index to make it available - grab a style from a journal you like there: http:// jo.irisson.free.fr/bstdatabase/ JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

If the idea is to make your bib file public I can suggest: - exporting it in html from bibdesk and posting this on you personal site - exporting your citations to CiteULike. CuL can import BibTeX and will make less changes than what Connotea apparently does. However it will just take the information in your bib file as is, without completing the missing fields (which Connotea might do apparently, since it requires some identifier to fetch the publication information). From CiteULike you can also import citations from web pages or such and export everything back to bibdesk with no loss of information if you stick to the classic bibtex fields. Linking PDFs is a more delicate mater and I don't remember if I found a solution. CiteULike is really nice but two-way communication with BibDesk is still problematic. I would personally love to see this improved. Anyone motivated ;) Last I remember, CuL guys (well guy actually since it is kind of a one man project) were quite open to such ideas.

Those who do need the typesetting and cross-referencing abilities of LaTeX, but who have run screaming from its complication and coding requirements, might want to look at LyX (http://www.lyx.org/), which is a word processor front end to LaTeX. You work in LyX as you would in any word processor, but when you wish to view the finished product, LyX calls up TeX and has it typeset your document. I use LyX with Bibdesk. The idea sounds good, but the LyX page lists several other required packages. Of the first two, Qt and Xforms, Qt costs several hundred dollars and the Xforms web site is dead. This doesn't look promising No no lyx works out of the box on os x (provided you have a TeX system of course).

Re: [Bibdesk-users] request for feature (was Re: BibDesk to Connotea to BibDesk)
When I import from PubMed using the BibDesk command, the PMID field is added appropriately (same as the DOI if memory serves). I have no knowledge of an Import from Amazon function.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Modify the exported bibitem command

work!
It's really easy and nice,
Thank you very much!

Yes, this depends entirely on the .bst file you use. The fields and types
defined in the bibdesk preferences are nothing but a hint to the user, they
have absolutely no influence on bibtex output. It is just that the default
settings correspond to what the standard bibtex styles expect.
The choice for the Modèle popup you see is a bug in the French
localization, it should be similar to the Modèle popup for the default
drag/copy type. Thanks for notifying us, it's just been fixed (will be
included in tomorrows nightly build).

I realise that using the drag and drop bibitem is really easier and

modified bst style, I can have exactly what I want for the author format.
But I still wondering how can I tune the exported fields. I added the DOI
field in the Preference Panes / Default fields / Advanced : Custom
BibTex Types and Fields in the optional fields of article but when I
right-click on a paper to get the LaTeX command, the DOI field is not in the
bibitem output. Is this depending on the bst file I use?
I also have a question about the preference panes. In the BibDesk manual
(here : http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_60.html#SEC117
), for Copying and Dragging there are a default and an alternate
formats. In my version of BibDesk (i.e. 1.3.10), I selected the bibitem
export as an alternate format and there is a model option with choice
between : item1, item2, and item3. Is this a way to tune the bibitem
command? (the exported fields).
Thank you in advance,

Dear BibDesk users,
Till now, I was using BibDesk to manage my bibliography database,
annotate it, link with the pdf, and this is just great ! Can't remember how
I did before??? (the combination with Skim is also great, no need to print
all papers : comments in BibDesk and highlights in the paper with Skim). And
then, generate the bibliography for a paper.
But I am using LaTeX with the thebibliography environment. I would
like to be able to choose the fields for the bibitem command. In
particular, I added the doi field by default for all my paper cards and
I would like to export it in the bibitem command. I also would like the
field author to be in this form :
McCracken, M., A. Maxwell, C. M. Hofman, S. S. Porst, J. Howison, M.
Routley, and S. Spiegel
(with firstname of the first author in the lastname, firstname format
while other author names are in firstname lastname order).
To do that, I created my own tex template for articles :
$publications
\bibitem[???]{$citeKey/}
\textbf{[EMAIL PROTECTED]/}
($fields.Year/).
$fields.Title/,
\textit{$fields.Journal.stringByRemovingTeX/},
\textbf{$fields.Volume/}[EMAIL PROTECTED]($fields.Number/)/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:$fields.Pages/[EMAIL PROTECTED],
doi:$fields.Doi//[EMAIL PROTECTED].
/$publications
But the DOI field is just ignored, and I also have a problem for the
parameter in the bibitem command (\bibitem[], I can't generate
what I want : an author-year citation form ). And I can't export the
author names in the format I would like (sure I could do it by hand... but
knowing me, this would be a way to generate a lot of mistakes !).
Is there a way to solve this? What did I miss?
Many thanks in advance and thank you so much to the developers,
Julie
@nonEmpty is a modifier for a collection (filters out empty fields from
a collection), so that should be used in something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]. However fields.Doi is a single field, not a
collection, so you should use it in a value tag and/or a condition tag. In
your case you should use something like:
$fields.Doi?, doi:$fields.Doi//fields.Doi?
Similar for Number.
