I tried using refdb for citing and bibliographies using DocBook -Is anyone using DocBook? I'm looking at converting from LaTeX, but emacs + psgml does not seem to give the author support that I get with emacs + auctex + reftex. Am I missing something? In particular, it would be nice to have the support of reftex in pulling in bibtex references.
http://refdb.sourceforge.net/
From recollection it converts bibtex files fairly neatly. I found it all a bit messy in terms of the markup needed for citing works in the way I needed (a modified Harvard system). It was certainly nice in terms of flexible conversion options though - rtf (I know - but other people I work with "just know" about it), pdf, html and so on. It also meant more mucking around with mysql than I had time for too.
Went back to LaTeX in the end; still haven't comletely solved the process of co-authoring stuff with people who use word processors.
