Org-mode (a. k. a. org) is a standard Emacs package allowing, among many other things, an interesting form of literate programming, which makes it a very interesting tool for writing scientific papers.
Org just acquired a standard mechanism for citation handling. Its practical use is quite close to the one used by LaTeX, but its syntax is a tad different : instead of \cite{key1,key2}, org expects something of the form [cite:@key1,@key2] (with optional common or reference-specific prefixes and suffixes and citation style ; see the (currently embryonic) documentation).
I didn’t find a (documented) way to customize the syntax of whatever Jabref provides to emacs when pushing. However, it should be easy to add a new “external editor” facility (“Emacs/Org”, say…), doing the same thing as the current “Emacs” external editor (which should become “Emacs/LaTeX”), but spits out the new syntax :
-
[cite: ... ]replaces\cite{}; -
keys are prefixed by
@, and separated by;;
Prefixes and stylistic variations handling may be better left on the emacs side.
What do you think ? (I’m not allowed to create pools…).
Just meant as a starting point if someone wants to work on this
