Hi all,
I'm interested in exporting HTML from an org document that contains references managed by org-ref.
I'm running into the following problem. I have a reference that doi-utils added with a very long bibtex key:
@article{saldin09_struc_isolat_biomol_obtain_from ...
When exporting to html, org-ref uses this bibtex key as the link text in every citation. This quickly becomes unreadable, especially if you cite the above paper several times in a paragraph.
Does anyone know how easy it would be to customize the bibtex keys generated by doi-utils, for instance by doi-add-bibtex-entry? For instance, if the above key were just the first author and year, it'd be
@article{Saladin2009
which would be much more readable after HTML export. I took a 30 mins look at the relevant doi-utils functions but couldn't piece out a reasonable way to make the change.
I guess another solution would be to modify HTML export to change citation link text, but that seems like the wrong place to make this change.
Any advice is appreciated!
David

You can customize the bibtex keys like this:
;; variables that control bibtex key format for auto-generation
;; I want firstauthor-year-title-words
;; this usually makes a legitimate filename to store pdfs under.
(setq bibtex-autokey-year-length 4
bibtex-autokey-name-year-separator "-"
bibtex-autokey-year-title-separator "-"
bibtex-autokey-titleword-separator "-"
bibtex-autokey-titlewords 2
bibtex-autokey-titlewords-stretch 1
bibtex-autokey-titleword-length 5)
The closest you can get changing the way citations are exported is
outlined here:

It is not yet an easy thing to do.
