Just a few questions, probably mostly on ctags:
* Does this assume you have the .bib and the .tex file in the same directory?
Often the bib file will be kept in a central location, as it can be shared
by many documents. In that case the file-finding mechanisms of TeX can be
used to find the desired files. But ctags doesn’t use those, and I assume
bbedit doesn’t do that either.
* I had to add
--langdef=bib
--langmap=bib:.bib
--regex-bib=/^@[A-Za-z]+{([^,]*)/\1/b,bib/
to my ~/.ctags file, otherwise I just get a header without actual entries
recorded in
a directory with only bib files. It would be good if this were a default. I’m
not sure
how BBEdit uses ctags and where the defaults come from. There appears to be a
default
setting for latex files.
* The completions aren’t restricted to the keys (at least not for \ref{}
calls).
Is this supposed to be the case? If the restriction is supposed to be there,
how can I make a connection between keys and macros?
Once I understand how this works I’ll update my tex integration scripts to
include tags
creation.
Kind regards,
Maarten
