Hi guys,

After some dirty hacks, I was able to make use of maxima.el to extract
its output and insert into current editing buffer, under emacs.

I have put my raw program on

http://alioth.debian.org/~heroxbd-guest/projects/amath-mode.el

It took a lot of source code from imath[1].

Cheers!

 Since like emacs, you might investigate org-mode. It is good at
 linking things together, and in the latest versions there is some
 support for exporting bibtex. You could make a tree of topics with
 links to pdf files, and tags if the hierarchy is too restricting.

Great. I will try org-mode to see if it can fit my need.

Cheers!

Bibliography and File Management

2009-03-14 Thread Benda Xu
Dear guys and girls on the list,

I have downloaded a lot of papers from the journals for reading and
reference. Although I tried to develop a naming scheme to organize the
file (mostly PDF format), I run into chaos these days: I forget which is
which before actually open the files one by one.

There will certainly be more and more papers I collect and I am
wondering a smart way to manage the references.

I have tried jabref[1] and a similar one under GNOME[2]. They maintain a
BibTeX file and keep the location of reference files. 

I do not have a full desktop environment. I would like a CUI friendly
(esp. Emacs friendly) tool for the same purpose. RefTeX coming with
AucTeX seems not to associate its entries with actual files locally. I
searched the web with no luck.

I would like to hear your advices.

Cheers!

[2]  I tried a year ago and forgot its lovely name.
