25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This file implements links to database entries in BibTeX files.
28 ;; Instead of defining a special link prefix, it uses the normal file
29 ;; links combined with a custom search mechanism to find entries
30 ;; by reference key. And it constructs a nice description tag for
31 ;; the link that contains the author name, the year and a short title.
33 ;; It also stores detailed information about the entry so that
34 ;; remember templates can access and enter this information easily.
36 ;; The available properties for each entry are listed here:
38 ;; :author :publisher :volume :pages
39 ;; :editor :url :number :journal
40 ;; :title :year :series :address
41 ;; :booktitle :month :annote :abstract
42 ;; :key :btype
44 ;; Here is an example of a remember template that use some of this
45 ;; information (:author :year :title :journal :pages):
47 ;; (setq org-remember-templates
48 ;; '((?b "* READ %?\n\n%a\n\n%:author (%:year): %:title\n \
49 ;; In %:journal, %:pages.")))
51 ;; Let's say you want to remember this BibTeX entry:
53 ;; @Article{dolev83,
54 ;; author = {Danny Dolev and Andrew C. Yao},
55 ;; title = {On the security of public-key protocols},
56 ;; journal = {IEEE Transaction on Information Theory},
57 ;; year = 1983,
58 ;; volume = 2,
59 ;; number = 29,
60 ;; pages = {198--208},
61 ;; month = {Mars}
62 ;; }
64 ;; M-x `org-remember' on this entry will produce this buffer:
66 ;; =====================================================================
67 ;; * READ <== [point here]
69 ;; [[file:/file.bib::dolev83][Dolev & Yao 1983: security of public key protocols]]
71 ;; Danny Dolev and Andrew C. Yao (1983): On the security of public-key protocols
72 ;; In IEEE Transaction on Information Theory, 198--208.
73 ;; =====================================================================
75 ;;; History:
77 ;; The link creation part has been part of Org-mode for a long time.
79 ;; Creating better remember template information was inspired by a request
80 ;; of Austin Frank: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/4112
81 ;; and then imlemented by Bastien Guerry.
83 ;; Org-mode loads this module by default - if this is not what you want,
84 ;; configure the variable `org-modules'.
