Hello, I believe that this post is not without link with the thread "HTML Export doesn't handle internal link with post. In order to obtain via reftex a code which produces links to reference in "plain" style, I have put in my init.el file the following code: (defun org-mode-reftex-setup () (load-library "reftex") (and (buffer-file-name) (file-exists-p (buffer-file-name)) (progn ;enable auto-revert-mode to update reftex when bibtex file changes on disk (global-auto-revert-mode t) (reftex-parse-all) ;add a custom reftex cite format to insert links (reftex-set-cite-format '((?b . "[cite:%l ]") ) ) ) ) (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c )") 'reftex-citation) (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c (") 'org-mode-reftex-search) ) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-mode-reftex-setup) The space between %l and ] allows me to write the page of reference. The result is for example : Quine [[3 ], p. 10] Of course, it would be better to obtain: [3, p. 10], but I do not succed to find the good solution. If someone can help me... Best wishes, Jo.
