I've been making some progress in writing templates for BibDesk. In the
list of template files (BibDesk > Preferences > Templates) I added three
templates that Fletcher Penny developed and describes on this page:
http://groups.google.com/group/multimarkdown/browse_thread/thread/0c9937c17906a8b1/6f633137107832fa.
I then copied and edited the first of them (MMDExportTemplate.txt). I
simply changed:
<$publications>
[#<$citeKey/>][]</$publications>
to
<$publications>
<!--\citep{<$citeKey/>}--></$publications
The goal here is to create a template that (in Fletcher's excellent
MultiMarkdown software) will escape natbib citations so they are passed
to LaTeX without MultiMarkdown changing them. MultiMarkdown does not
process anything that appears as a HTML comment, so LaTeX will see the
above citation as \citep{foo}, assuming "foo" is the value of $citeKey.
So far, so good. But I also want an identical template that uses \citet
instead. I can certainly write it and bring it into BibDesk. But it
doesn't appear on the Copying and Dragging submenu's Template drop-downs.
I suspect this has something to do with its Role in the list of template
files. The list (and the template feature) seems designed for major
exports of entire bibliographies, but my application is for simple
individual citations. I bet if I created an entirely new template name
and added the \citet file under it, things would work the way I want.
But it would be nice to be able to organize all the minor variations of
citation drag-and-drop templates under one heading. Is there any way to
do this?
BibDesk seems to recognize this with its Cite Drawer. The documentation
(http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_53.html#SEC103)
alludes to "custom citation strings," but it doesn't explain how to
create, copy, or edit them. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks.
