It includes information on how to use bibtex with Org mode. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-17 Eric Schulte has written some elisp helpers for managing bibliographies in Org mode. I believe this is in the contrib directory of the Org mode distribution.=20 All the best, Tom Christopher W Ryan writes: > Ah, now I'm beginning to understand: I can export a *part* of an > org-mode file; I'm not limited to exporting the whole thing.
