Re: [Bibdesk-users] Finding or customising styles

 Hi there,

 I am a bloody beginner with LaTex and BibDesk and want to write my
doctoral
 thesis in LaTex (if I manage to make this work!)

 For my field (Theology in Germany) I need a bibliography style that
produces
 a full reference in a footnote and in the bibliography.

If you're just getting started with LaTeX now, I would strongly suggest you
look at the BibLaTeX package (installed as standard in TeX Live, and
possibly MikTeX). It is being actively developed (which jurabib, iirc, is
not), has a detailed manual, and if it doesn't have the exact style you need
( and it might, I haven't checked), it is reputed to be easier to customize
than plain BibTeX is.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Encoding double-quotes and accented chars in the .bib file?

2010-12-29 Thread Gerrit Glabbart

 So that would be the double quotes around recherche musicale in the Title 
 field.
 
 Is it correct to think that I'm getting this warning because double-quotes 
 are reserved in Bibtex?

I believe so, yes.


 It has nothing to do with the character encoding of the file, right?

right.


 So I need to represent the double-quotes as two single-quotes: '' , correct?

Maybe. I suppose you could use the LaTeX convention (or crutch), like so: 
``recherche musicale’’; however, (the rules for) quotes are language-sensitive, 
i.e. quotes look differently in German, French or English, and the rules 
whether or not to include spaces differ as well. My French is lousy, but I 
believe the typographically proper way to enquote the title would be « 
recherche musicale » . 

I use the csquotes package to ensure the typographically correct quotes every 
time. It’s written by Philipp Lehman, who is also the author of biblatex, so 
the two packages ought to work together perfectly (particularly since biblatex 
has the »hyphenation« field, which can trigger all sorts of adjustments in the 
bib entry, including, well, hyphenation, but also abbreviations and quote 
marks).

Cheers,
Gerrit.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Import from Zotero?

2010-05-07 Thread Gerrit Glabbart
2010/5/7 Derek Van Ittersum derek.vanitter...@gmail.com

 I ended up solving the problem through exporting the data from zotero
 in a different manner.  Instead of right-clicking on the My Library
 and choosing export, I selected all the entries in the main window,
 right-clicked, and chose export selected references.  The resulting
 file opened without complaint in Bibdesk.  Hurray!

Could your problem be a byte-order mark? While I'm fuzzy on the details of
what that actually does, I know that UTF8-encoded documents can come in two
flavors, UTF-8 and  UTF-8 no BOM. I've had warnings about that, but
never any actual problems that I can recall.

Re.: Zotero -- Are you aware of George MacKerrons's Zot2Bib? (
http://mackerron.com/zot2bib/)
I haven't used Zotero in a while, but I remember being quite impressed with
Zot2Bib (which targets BibDesk specifically, rather than generic BibTeX).

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Is the Custom BibTeX Fields Pane Supposed to Be Scrollable? -- False Alarm...

2009-04-24 Thread Gerrit Glabbart

Am 24.04.2009 um 23:09 schrieb Gerrit Glabbart:

 Hey everybody,

 in my attempt to adapt BibDesk for Biblatex I want to add a number  
 of new, Biblatex-specific fields as default. I'm having difficulty  
 doing this, though, because the 'Custom BibTeX Fields' Pane in the  
 Preferences has no scroll bar. The screenshot in BibDesk's Help  
 does, however, show a scroll bar.

 Is anyone else seeing this, or is this a problem particular to my  
 setup?

 Thanks,
 Gerrit.

Sorry for the noise, folks. Clicking on the add-button also added  
the scroll bar. I'm still mildly curious why it wasn't there to begin  
with, but I'm sure that will soon pass! ;)

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Intro / biblatex

One frustration I had with BibDesk was the pain in changing entry
headings to match biblatex's recommended values.  Until I sat down
with the Typeinfo.plist file and manually edited it.

Would anyone else be interested in a copy made up to biblatex /
playing around with it?


Wouldn't this make a good entry for the wiki? I've only dipped my  
toes into biblatex (if you forgive me that metaphor) so far, but yes,  
I am interested, and I'm guessing there must be a number of people  
who are interested and who don't know it yet (jurabib users come to  
mind, considering that project's current hiatus).


Best,
Gerrit.
