I don't use tags since tags on .bib files 29;; only picks up the cite key, where as refer-find-entry looks for occurrences 30;; of keywords anywhere in the bibliography entry. 31;; 32;; To use: 33;; (autoload 'refer-find-entry "refer" nil t) 34;; or (require 'refer) 35;; 36;; To look for an article by Knuth about semaphores: 37;; Invoke refer-find-entry, then in response to the Keywords: prompt, 38;; say: Knuth semaphores (a blank-separated list of keywords to be used 39;; as search strings). 40;; 41;; To continue the previous search, i.e., to search for the next occurrence 42;; of the keywords, use refer-find-next-entry, or invoke refer-find-entry 43;; with a prefix argument. 44;; 45;; Once you've found the entry you want to reference, invoke 46;; refer-yank-key to insert it at point in the current buffer 47;; (typically as the argument of a \cite{} command). 48;; 49;; I use (define-key tex-mode-map "\C-c\C-y" 'refer-yank-key) 50;; to bind this often-used function to a key in (la)tex-mode. 51;; 52;; If the list of bibliography files changes, reinitialize the variable 53;; refer-bib-files. 54;; 55;; To customize: 56;; See variables refer-bib-files, refer-cache-bib-files and 57;; refer-bib-files-regexp. By default, these are set up so that refer 58;; looks for the keywords you specify in all the .bib files in the current 59;; directory. 60;; 61;; The only assumption I make about bib files is that they contain a bunch 62;; of entries, one to a paragraph. refer-find-entry searches paragraph by 63;; paragraph, looking for a paragraph containing all the keywords 64;; specified. So you should be able to use pretty much any bib file with 65;; this code. If your bib file does not use paragraphs to separate 66;; entries, try setting the paragraph-start/separate variables, or changing 67;; the (forward-paragraph 1) call in refer-find-entry-in-file. 68 69;;; Code: 70 71(provide 'refer) 72 73(defgroup refer nil 74 "Look up references in bibliography files." 75 :prefix "refer-" 76 :group 'text) 77 78(defcustom refer-bib-directory nil 79 "Directory, or list of directories, to search for \\.bib files. 80Can be set to `bibinputs' or `texinputs', in which case the environment 81variable BIBINPUTS or TEXINPUTS, respectively, is used to obtain a 82list of directories.
