Yes, it contains bib2bib and even the main bibtex2html contains functionality for this. Now how do we want to do this with org-mode? 1) The user is responsible for creating a bib-file using whatever tools she prefers (e.g. bib2bib). 2) Add an option to just select the entries that are used in the org-file. Nothing fancy. 3) Add a generic API to select+sort+format the entries. Both 1 and 2 are easy to do. I can create a patch that adds support for this later this week. Are there any other features that you would need? - Taru Karttunen _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
