Dear Joost,
I'm actively using Ebib in a research project where I merge references from
different sources. Some of them are in BibTeX format and another ones must
be exported to bib. The common final way is I get multiple keywords fields.
I've been looking in better detail the question. Even using fine tools like
"bibutils" outputs multiple keywords fields when you input formats like RIS
-which normally use multiple keywords fields-
What I mean is the usefullness of Ebib as it allows to deal whith this
annoyance -so I vote for this feature to be optional in the future #8^)
Regards,

Well, I've already implemented reading multiple keywords fields as an
optional feature in the current development version. That is, if the user
wishes, Ebib reads multiple keywords fields and puts them in a single
keywords field. So the next release (I have no idea when that will be...)
will contain that functionality.
Being able to *retain* multiple fields as separate fields, that's a
different matter. If this is what you would like, I can give some thought
to how it might be implemented, but I'm not sure yet if I'll include it,
and when.
Best,
Joost

Honestly I think it's a very good news indeed!

Mmm... As a first glance it doesn't seem really necesary. Multiple keywords
fields aren't well formatted and you always have the original files. I'll
tell you later if my experience shows me something different.

Dear Joost Kremers,
I just finished my dissertation with Ebib. It helped a lot.
the ebib-insert-bibtex-key function can show all possible entries with
a TAB. During writing my dissertation, I keeped on finding that I
wish ebib-insert-bibtex-key could show not only the entry name, but
also the author (at least the first author) and the title. I cannot
remember all those references only by their entry names, since there
are more than 300 references. I think it would be enough if
ebib-insert-bibtex-key can show every entry in one line with entry
name, author(s), and title. And it would be fancy if it can be
customized.
Thank you for your work!

Thanks, that's great to hear! :-)

Yes, I know exactly what you mean... I have run into the same problem.
I've never thought about a possible solution, however. I use Emacs'
completion functions, and this is what they give you.
I'll start looking into it, though. It seems Emacs 22 has some new
completion capabilities which may prove interesting.

Subject: [Ebib-users] Ebib 1.5.2 released; git repository
To: Ebib Users <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hi all,
I've just uploaded Ebib version 1.5.2 to the Sourceforge servers. New
features in this version:
- Ebib now allows multiple bib-files in the \bibliography command of a
LaTeX file. (I never knew BibTeX allows this...)
- It is now possible to push entries from the index buffer to a LaTeX
buffer. With the key 'p', you're asked for a buffer, after which the
current entry is added to this buffer, together with a cite-command. (The
cite commands used are the same ones used for ebib-insert-bibtex-key. The
default is \cite{<key>}.) The default buffer to push entries to is the
one you called Ebib from.
Note: the key 'p' used to edit the @preamble. It seemed to make more
sense to use it for pushing entries instead. The preamble can now be
edited with 'r'.
- If you've put a value in the crossref field of an entry, Ebib now shows
which values the entry inherits from the cross-referenced entty.
- The multiline edit buffer produces a warning when there are unbalanced
braces in the text.
- Ebib now has an option to gracefully handle multiple identical fields in
BibTeX entries (i.e. multiple 'keywords' fields).
I've set up a public git repository for Ebib at
<http://repo.or.cz/w/ebib.git>. If you want, you can get the latest sources
from there.
Have fun!
Joost

thanks! i've applied the patch and pushed the new source to
<http://repo.or.cz/w/ebib.git>.
for some reason, i never got the compiler message you mention, but mapc
does make more sense here than mapcar.

Many thanks.
BTW,
(when (file-readable-p "~/.ebibrc")
(load "~/.ebibrc"))
may be simplified as:
(load "~/.ebibrc" t)
