Yes, this depends entirely on the .bst file you use. The fields and types defined in the bibdesk preferences are nothing but a hint to the user, they have absolutely no influence on bibtex output. It is just that the default settings correspond to what the standard bibtex styles expect.

The choice for the Modèle popup you see is a bug in the French localization, it should be similar to the Modèle popup for the default drag/copy type. Thanks for notifying us, it's just been fixed (will be included in tomorrows nightly build).

Thank you for your help.

I realise that using the "drag and drop" bibitem is really easier and nicer than using my inadequate export template. Using an appropriate and modified bst style, I can have exactly what I want for the author format. But I still wondering how can I tune the exported fields. I added the "DOI" field in the "Preference Panes" / "Default fields" / "Advanced : Custom BibTex Types and Fields" in the optional fields of article but when I right-click on a paper to get the LaTeX command, the DOI field is not in the bibitem output. Is this depending on the bst file I use?

I also have a question about the "preference panes". In the BibDesk manual (here : http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk% 20Help_60.html#SEC117 ), for "Copying and Dragging" there are a default and an alternate formats. In my version of BibDesk (i.e. 1.3.10), I selected the bibitem export as an alternate format and there is a "model" option with choice between : item1, item2, and item3. Is this a way to tune the bibitem command? (the exported fields).

Thank you in advance,
Julie

Dear BibDesk users,

Till now, I was using BibDesk to manage my bibliography database, annotate it, link with the pdf, and this is just great ! Can't remember how I did before??? (the combination with Skim is also great, no need to print all papers : comments in BibDesk and highlights in the paper with Skim). And then, generate the bibliography for a paper. But I am using LaTeX with the "thebibliography" environment. I would like to be able to choose the fields for the "bibitem" command. In particular, I added the "doi" field by default for all my paper "cards" and I would like to export it in the bibitem command. I also would like the field "author" to be in this form : "McCracken, M., A. Maxwell, C. M. Hofman, S. S. Porst, J. Howison, M. Routley, and S. Spiegel" (with firstname of the first author in the "lastname, firstname" format while other author names are in "firstname lastname" order).

To do that, I created my own tex template for articles :

<$publications>
\bibitem[<???>]{<$citeKey/>}
\textbf{< [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ >} (<$fields.Year/>).
<$fields.Title/>,
\textit{<$fields.Journal.stringByRemovingTeX/>},
\textbf{<$fields.Volume/>}<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>(< $fields.Number/>)</[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:<$fields.Pages/>< [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, doi:<$fields.Doi/></[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

</$publications>

But the DOI field is just ignored, and I also have a problem for the parameter in the bibitem command (\bibitem[<????>], I can't generate what I want : an author-year citation form ). And I can't export the author names in the format I would like (sure I could do it by hand... but knowing me, this would be a way to generate a lot of mistakes !).

Is there a way to solve this? What did I miss?

Many thanks in advance and thank you so much to the developers,

Julie

@nonEmpty is a modifier for a collection (filters out empty fields from a collection), so that should be used in something like < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>. However fields.Doi is a single field, not a collection, so you should use it in a value tag and/or a condition tag. In your case you should use something like:

<$fields.Doi?>, doi:<$fields.Doi/></fields.Doi?>

Similar for Number.
