Hi Jochen
Thanks a lot for these suggestions. However, I hesitate to put these
changes into bibtex.el. It appears to me that the above value for
bibtex-generate-url-list reflect your personal preferences so that
they should go into the personal .emacs:
- The default values for user variables in bibtex.el reflect the
usage of BibTeX as a bibliography database for LaTeX documents. To
the best of my knowledge, neither URLs nor DOIs are required for
LaTeX documents.
The default value for bibtex-generate-url-list is an example for
how to use this variable.
- The buttons for URLs in BibTeX files are inserted via font-lock.
The algorithm is fairly complicated. I expect that a long list of
schemes in bibtex-generate-url-list can make font-locking rather
slow if one has a slow computer and/or a large BibTeX file.
(Comments welcome! I can't check that on my computer, it's pretty
fast.)
On the other hand, the algorithm is fully customizable. If the
journals you work with support DOIs, you can add a DOI field to
bibtex-user-optional-fields. And the above value for
bibtex-generate-url-list will generate buttons for these fields.
Let me know if there is anything that cannot be done by
appropriate values for bibtex-user-optional-fields and
bibtex-generate-url-list.
- It seems to me that your choice of journals from AIP reflects your
personal preferences. See http://link.aip.org/jhtml/rre_list.jsp
for a more complete list of AIP journals. However, this rather
long list of journal names would make font-locking even slower.
(The British IOP and the European EPS use similar schemes for
their journals.)
In my .emacs, I have pretty much the same value for
bibtex-generate-url-list you suggest. (I expect that you are a
physicist like me. You are interested in the same journals.)
