Re: [libreoffice-users] Feature request: native BibTeX support
Zotero is OK, but styles customisation is poor; for structured documents, LaTeX is way ahead of word-processors, primarily because references and cross-references functionality is so poor in word-processors. You could try tex4ht to convert to odt format, but if the request for a word processor format is to allow recipients to edit, you could try sending the pdf to view and the tex file in the e-mail message to edit. Then use the diff utility to find changes made to your file. When recipients realise (!) the advantages of using LaTeX you could even suggest collaboration via subversion (e.g. see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Collaborative_Writing_of_LaTeX_Documents). -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Francesco Francesco, I know this does not directly address you questions or suggestion but though it might be of some use. I have successfully used Zotero with OpenOffice and LibreOffice for several years (http://www.zotero.org/). It is relatively intuitive and well supported. I generate quite a few documents annually and each has a comprehensive bibliography. My library has 8549 references and I can readily export them into dozens of formats. http://www.zotero.org/styles The program can import Bibtex files. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Principal Consultant Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, VIC W: www.botanicusaustralia.com.au -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi to everyone, this is my first message on this mailing list. I am a researcher and usually I use LaTeX+BibTeX for my papers. Sometimes I need to write .doc/.docx/.odt files and the bibliography is a big problem. JabRef has a nice plugin to work with OpenOffice/LibreOffice like other reference manager do. But a direct usage of the BibTeX file would be much better. I know that the bibliography system need a big revision. What do you think about a "universal" interface to manage the references in LibreOffice which can be interfaced with one or more BibTeX files or with the common relational databases? Regards.
