What you want is not supported by BibDesk. Also there is no library
of templates for standard styles (I'd like for users to contribute to
that though). And the template format used in BibDesk is actually too
versatile to allow for a simple editor as in EndNote (the template
editor would probably be more complicated than editing in a normal
editor). BibDesk is primarily geared towards use with LaTeX. However
it does allow for some interaction with wysiwyg editors s.a. word,
but it is not that well integrated in BibDesk. It should go through
templates. The FAQ on the Wiki and the online help have some more
info about this. Also there are some user scripts that can help post-
processing rich text format containing cite keys to generate in-line
citations and bibliographies.

Hello,
I am a new user to bidesk and after being abused by endnote
numerous times i can see clearly the benefits. However, after going
through the manual and much of the wiki, i am unable to find an
answer to the following.
In endote there is a very simply feature for formatting an .rtf
document. You simply insert (in the case of bibdesk) cite-keys were
necessary for in-line citations. Then, you open the "format .rtf
document" window, which allows you to check the citations to make
sure they all match and then format the in-line citations and
generate a bibliography based the desired template. (note: I
understand how to make templates but it would be great to know if
basic templates are archived somewhere, such as for major journals--
i am a sociologist). You can also edit the template for in-line
citations in endote, which i do not understand how to do in bibdesk.
I do have TeX installed and the preview window works fine, but I
would like to be able to preview an entire document based on a
specific .bib. I really don't understand how to make a TeX document
using TexShop, nor am i excited to learn, even though this is an
obvious solution.
Yet, having this functionality seems essential for those who want
to use open source apps like bibdesk instead of endnote, so i hope
i am just missing something. I checked the applecripts page on the
wiki as well. Please let me know.
Thanks,
jonna
