Ali & Tom,
thanks for this. This is brilliant. I have modified (well, copied and
created an alternative) the last snippet to
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-add-link-type
"cite" 'ebib
(lambda (path desc format)
(cond
((eq format 'latex)
(format "\\cite{%s}" path)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
as I tend to use =cite= much more than =citep=. This works like a charm
although I must admit that citep with the description is prettier in an
org context! In any case, no more \cite's in my org files and the link
to ebib is ever so useful.
Thanks again,
eric
