Some hints on using Sixpack with Lyx and to convert Endnote files to bibtex
Exeptionally I don´t have a question, but some hints on using Sixpack with Lyx and converting Endnote files to bibtex: I had the problem to convert a big amount of citations, I already entered in Endnote, to bibtex. The export filter I found at ISI´s Homepage didn´t work, thus I did one by my own, which you can find attached to this mail. The problem I couldn´t fix in Endnote was, that the created CiteIDs (author,year,title) contained blanks and Umlauts, which cause errors in the bibtex-file. Thus I used Sixpack´s automatic CiteID-creation feature to do this. For this, you have to edit the line CITEID = Lachman ... in the file /etc/sixpack.rc to your needs. The examples shown in this file for doing this contain a : like CITEID = Lachmann,98,:,Introduction to produce Citeids for. ^ With this : the pipe feature (look at Sixpack´s howto to enable this) doesn´t work, thus you have to change the : to - or delete it completely: CITEID = Lachmann,98,Introduction to produce Citeids for (You have to restart Sixpack to enable the new CiteID-style!!) Another disadvantage is the creation of doubled IDs, which you have to change by hand (use Edit-Mark Doubled CiteIDs). You also have to watch out for Umlauts, ß or , in the CiteID, which also causes errors and are not been checked by Sixpack. You can do this by opening the file with Pybliographer, which does some spellchecking. Maybe someone has another idea, how to do this, but this way worked fine with me. You can check the created bib-file (Transfer-Export-Export Bibtex, watch out for the *.bib in the path!) by typing \nocite* (ERT) within Lyx, like written elsewhere. Andi BibTeX Lyx Export.ens
