[Bibdesk-users] unsubscribing (was Re: Include references in .bib file)

2011-03-12 Thread Jason Davies
Typically people unsusbcribe themselves from lists. Asking the list-mom 
to do it is an unnecessary burden (speaking as the owner of other 
lists). Follow the link at the bottom of each message and you shoud be 
able to do it yourself.

There's not really a way to do this. You should realize that the
tex (and bbl) is derived from the bibtex data, there's no
reversal. You may try using the text import feature (Publication

 Yes.  Non-ASCII characters are not permitted in citekeys (and there are a 
 fair number of ASCII characters that will cause problems, also).

That sounds fun. Thanks for the clarification.

sounds like a folder action might work if you can get the syntax of searching

sorry, this is a real newbie one and it's virtually OT to boot...I ask for the 
list's indulgence. I have in the past created a custom bib using makebst. Now 
when (several years later) I want a custom bib that contains annotations for a 
critical bibliography but can't get it to run at all.

I have tried latex makebst (and put the right file path) but it says 'latex: 
command not found' in the Terminal. TeXShop is working fine so I'm a bit stuck 
on how to get the process to start (I even tried running it through TeXShop but 
it gave an error:-))

Running Snow Leopard with TeXLive 2008 activated. (Is this something to do with 
32bit?)

Re: [Bibdesk-users] [OT] How to crossref?

2008-01-04 Thread Jason Davies
Well, the way I understand crossref is that it is meant for items I
want to cite separately but which depend on a parent item.  For me this
means that I do not use it for chapters, unless these are articles
written by different authors and put together in one single
volume/book. The parent item would be book, the single articles
incollection.


This is confusing me, actually, so this is a timely thread. Can 
I ask the experts' help here?

For example I have a reference to a book with two editors: 
here's the edited raw reference.

@book{harveyschultz06a,
 Address = {Cambridge, UK},
 Author = {Harvey, Paul B and Schultz, Celia E},
 Dewey-Call-Number = {937.04},
 Genre = {Religion and politics},
 Publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
 Title = {Religion in republican Italy},
 Url = {http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0710/2007296031-d.html},
 Volume = {v. 33},
 Year = {2006},
}}


The 'authors' are actually editors but that's how it came from 
the Library search. If I move them to the editor field and 
create a 'child' of one of the chapters, it fills in the Title 
with 'Religion in republican Italy' and leaves Booktitle blank. 
I can't change the Title because of the cross-reference.

Is it easy to see what I am doing wrong here? ... thanks.

[Bibdesk-users] citing collections

2007-09-26 Thread Jason Davies
I seem to be having a fit of amnesia about referencing something 
in a collection, especially on how to get it to work in BibDesk 
(entering the data). Is anyone feeling particularly patient?

I want the bibliography to read

Feeney article in Rupke (2007), pp 100-200 (or similar, 
whatever comes out is fine)

then Rupke will appear too as a ful entry.

I thought I had some way in Bibdesk of having a cross-reference 
that would automagically sort this out - but no sign of it. Have 
I done something stupid to the settings, or something?

The workaround of re-entering the data would not work as Rupke's 
book (as editor) would reappear in full, which is clumsy, at 
both moments.

I'm sure I've done this 100 times before (but not recently...)

thanks for any tips.

- open the item which you want to be linked to another item.
- then at the very bottom there is a small icon which gives you 
an  actions for publication- menu
- choose add field and type crossref
- paste the cite key of the desired parent item into this new field
- you may have to delete anything you already have in fields 
which  you want to be inherited from the parent item, crossref 
will only  fill empty fields!
done

ah, so I wasn't going mad, I had just forgotten where it was.

[Bibdesk-users] strange reference error

2007-08-17 Thread Jason Davies
I'm not sure if this is to do with Bibdesk or what but I have 
two references to the same book on teh same page

  and \citeasnoun{beardnorthprice98a}.}  Historiography, on the 
other hand, dealt (amongst other things)

  

  over whose account should predominate, and this hypothetical 
tension reaches its  height when we consider that Tacitus was 
not just a historian but also a priest concerned with the 
interpretation of the Sibylline Books\footnote{For those 
Sibylline oracles that remain extant and further bibliography, 
see \citeasnoun{beardnorthprice98a} volume II, 179-183.}

  The first time beardnorthprice98a is cited, it appears in 
TeXshop as 'Beard, North and Price (1998)' (as I wish) but the 
second time it is Beard et al (1998).

  does anyone know why identical references should produce 
different results? I'm using a customised harvard style. Is this 
even a Bibdesk question?:-)

you are correct, it is not a BibDesk question. This is an outcome of
your bibstyle so you might want to check how exactly your style handles
a repeated citation of the same item.

ah, that must be it, hadn't thought of it that way. I'll try to 
find out more but now I know where to start - thanks.

my modifications are rather random:-) and I doubt I can recreate

[Bibdesk-users] handling surname and numbers

I have an author C. R. Phillips III who I want to cite. If I 
protect the 'III' with 'Phillips' in BibDesk, then the reference 
in the text appears as Phillips III (1986) instead of 'Phillips 
1986'. But anything else I do messes up the entry in the Works 
Cited section where I want the author's name to be C. R. 
Phillips III. I looked up the treatment for 'jnr' but that gave

Did you try searching for name in the Help (I didn't...that's just a
guess)?  See
http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_2.html#Formatting
-Names

that's a bit obvious, don't you think? :-) (I was being much 
more technical and got blinded)

.  In this case, you have to use von Last, Jr., First Middle, I
think, so Phillips, III, C. R. should give you correct results.

when I had finally worked out how to follow these difficult 
instructions, it works as hoped.

damn, the syntax is almost like Applescript. Impossible to 
guess, embarrassingly easy when you see it.

I created  ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib (I only had texmf with 
three other folders there). then I ran kpsewhich which showed this:



.:/Users/ophiochos/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/bibtex/bib//:/Users/ophiochos/Library/texmf/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/bibtex///

that didn't work so I entered the full path in these ways:

\bibliography 
{.:/Users/ophiochos/Library/texmf/bibtex/bibReligionHistoryJun07.bib}

and

\bibliography {Macintosh 
HD/Users/ophiochos/Library/texmf/bibtex/bibReligionHistoryJun07.bib}

and

\bibliography 
{/Users/ophiochos/Library/texmf/bibtex/bibReligionHistoryJun07.bib}

all of which failed.

I'm using Gerben's installer and most tex stuf seems to run fine 
here (the bib file compiles properly when it's local to the tex 
file, ie in the same folder).

is there anything obvious I'm missing? Should I try a different 
location of those listed?

thanks everyone.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] using aliases to a central bib file? and other newbie issues

2007-06-15 Thread Jason Davies
1)You can just specify the full (or relative) path to a single bib file
instead of placing a copy in every directory. All my .tex files specify
\bibliography{/Users/ahm/Papers/All} for the bib. Or you can place a
symbolic link (from Terminal: ln -s /Users/ahm/Papers/ All.bib .)
instead of the usual finder alias in the .tex file's folder.

ok, please ignore the parsing error in my last message (missing 
/) which was just a typo. I adapted this and it worked perfectly.

doh, I didn't realise I could specify a full path...! how obvious...

that's that sorted, many thanks. now off to double-check the 
BBEdit scripts, I can't remember the error I got when I tried them.

thanks folks. instant and full support always welcome...
