Ok. An I guess DeTeXifying means removing those commands without
affecting the output while TeXifying is converting those commands into
their RTF equivalent. i.e.:
{\'e} -- DeTeX --> e
{\'e} -- TeX --> é
Is that right?
If it is, what is the difference between DeTeX and stringByRevingTeX?

OK, so I am actually better off doing everything in RTF directly then.
My only big remaining issue is that BibDesk template values are not
expanded within links. For example if I have an RTF file with a only a
link to the DOI:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf320
{\fonttbl\f0\froman\fcharset0 Palatino-Roman;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
{\info
{\author
Foo}}\paperw11900\paperh16840\margl1440\margr1440\vieww9000\viewh8400\viewkind0
\pard\tx566\tx1133\tx1700\tx2267\tx2834\tx3401\tx3968\tx4535\tx5102\tx5669\tx6236\tx6803\ql\qnatural\pardirnatural
{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://dx.doi.org/%3C$string.Doi/%3E"}}{\fldrslt
\f0\fs22 \cf0 <$string.Doi/>}}}
The "<$string.Doi/>" element of the link is converted by TextEdit in
HTML entities: "%3C$string.Doi/%3E". Even if I replace the %3*
commands by < and > with a plain text editor, the link still points to
http://dx.doi.org/<$string.Doi/> and not to the expanded form (i.e.,
not the actual value of the DOI). Is there any way that BibDesk can
expand template values in links.
As a subsidiary question: I can't seem to be able to edit the
appearance of links in RTF. They always are underlined and blue. Is it
impossible to have them look like regular text?
Thanks in advance,
JiHO
