Hi,
Quoting Bram Vogelaar <[email protected]>:
6) As biologist we are attached to the hip with endnote (or reference
manager), could someone explain how they incorporated and or replaced
their endnote reference libraries to work with their docbook
workflow.
especially the conversion from endnote to docbook,
cite-while-you-write , and the auto numbering and formating that is
done by endnote
As a fellow biologist I've been working on this problem for a couple
of years. The result is RefDB (http://refdb.sourceforge.net), a
reference manager and bibliography tool for markup languages. You
can export your Endnote or RefMan databases to RIS and import that
straight into RefDB. Cite-while-you-write is implemented in two
editor extensions (Emacs and Vim), including reverse lookup and
author/title/keyword searches from marked sections. You can create
formatted citations and bibliographies from your DocBook sources and
the reference database according to the target style. RefDB supports
all flavours of DocBook (SGML, XML versions 4 and 5 including
namespaces). Document transformation can be included into
(semi-)automatic toolchains by means of Makefiles and shell scripts.
RefDB ships one such solution which allows you to run e.g. "make
pdf" to obtain a PDF version of your document, but it should be
simple enough to integrate parts or all of this into your own custom
toolchain.
Hello Markus
Many thanks for making me aware of Refdb, ill definitely look into
that one. As for your suggestion of the Emacs and VIM cite-while-you-
write, this is prob one step to far for current users. they still only
use the author (Wysiwyg) mode of oxygen xml. I might look into cooking
up a plugin for oxygen to implement the cite-while-you-write
bram
regards,
Markus
