 No, I wasn't aware, but its layout needs to be (typically) in Astrophysical

 Sure, change the .bst and edit the TeX preview template to use your preferred 
 .sty or other setup. There's a button for this in the prefs where you set up 
 the TeX preview.

OK, what is not obvious to me is how to generate the \bibitem code.  I can 
readily generate a reference in the right format as a PDF, but not the \bibitem 
entry to insert into the LaTeX article text.  Is that possible?

[Bibdesk-users] 1.5.8 and 1.6.0: Tex preview bug difference

2013-03-02 Thread David Nicholls
I don't remember this being reported.

When I use Tex Preview (which I have customized a little to get the output 
style I want), if there's a non ASCII character in the abstract field of the 
Bibdesk record (eg a greek character), v 1.5.8 reports an error (though the log 
doesn't tell you what it is), but v 1.6.0 just runs indefinitely and you have 
to quit the app.

Both work once you've cleared out the offending character(s) (I cut and paste 
to/from the Abstract field using BBEdit to replace non standard chars).

There are two different problems here. The first is special characters, which 
can be a problem with tex. Unless you're using special TeX programs like XeTeX 
those aren't accepted. That's not in any way a problem in BibDesk, it really is 
a feature: it warns you that your data is not compatible with the tex program 
you use, which really is the primary purpose of the TeX preview. So it;s a 
problem with your data.

The crash in 1.6.0 has nothing to do with special characters. There is a known 
problem with (external window) Text TeX preview in 1.6.0. It crashes in a child 
process. The BibDesk program itself isn't crashing, so you don't need to quit. 
The bottom-window preview (View  Bottom Preview  TeX) does not have this 
problem. This was fixed in the nightly builds, so you may want to get that. 
Those should be safe to use, only the localizations are disabled (shouldn't be 
a problem for you.)

Thanks, Christiaan,

I had never explored the bottom preview window, and it work very nicely!  I 
just occasionally need to cut/paste the preview (saves time in generating a 
\bibitem) so I'll await the full release of 1.6.1

You can just as well copy the text from the bottom preview. The next release 
won't provide anything more than that, apart from allowing you to do it in the 
separate window. The old Text preview will be gone, as it (now) crashes and 
anyway has always been problematic. Oh, and you are aware that you can copy the 
fully prepared \bibitem?
