Hi eveyrone,
I've just looked back through my email archives and from what I can tell,
almost everyone who uses Org to write papers uses LaTex for the final
product.
I have never learned to use Latex, mostly because, as a humanist, almost
none of my colleagues can use LaTex files, and the same goes for journals I
interact with, which generally prefer Word submission(!). Because of this,
I am still trying to figure out a way to use org-mode for scholarly
writing. At present, I write my first, very rough drafts in Org, then
export to ODT and add citations from Zotero (we don't really use Bibtex
either); after this step, I can't really go back to Org, which is of course
very frustrating.
I would prefer to write exclusively in Org, then export to ODT when I have
a high-quality draft that I want to share with colleagues; in some cases, I
would also like to export directly to HTML for posting on a blog or course
website. In fact, one use case that would really help me is a very simple
one: when writing course syllabi, I would really like to just get the full
references to course readings to show up in HTML exports.
My question: does anyone yet have a workflow that lets them export directly
to HTML or ODT?
I've just tried using zotxt again (
https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotxt-emacs/overview -- first time in a while);
it is remarkably easy to use in Org itself. By default, though, the links
simply aren't handled in the HTML and ODT exports, and so the cites will be
completely absent.
Here is the text inserted by zotxt for a single citation:
----------------
[[zotero://select/items/0_TI27HJ5I][Suchman, Lucy. “Subject Objects.”
Feminist Theory 12, no. 2 (August 1, 2011): 119–45.
http://resolver.scholarsportal.info/resolve/14647001/v12i0002/119_so.xml.]]
---------------
In HTML, I would like to replace this with something like this:
(<a href="#BibSuchman2011">Suchman 2011</a>)
and then have Org generate a bibligraphy somewhere, a bit like org-ref
seems to do, It would be nice if I could steal the styles from somehwere,
the way org-ref seems to do.
For ODT< it seems a little more complicated. Here is the rather lengthy
equivalent that Zotero itself produces for my default style (Chicago) in
Libreoffice:

------------------------------
I'm not sure what the best way to do this is; it may be that zotxt could be
extended to get zotero to do the heavy lifting here.
I know Erik H reads this list, so if you have any suggestions, Erik, I
would love to hear them. But maybe other people also have suggestions
about modifying export filters - -that would also be really helpful for
me. Thanks as always,
Matt

I'm not quite sure how to do this, but I htink the action happens zotxt-choose-deferred, which starts on line 125 of zotxt.el ( https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotxt-emacs/src/74702e2b2f2aa0427f099eb4fe69dce8709f67fc/zotxt.el?at=master ): --------------------- (defun zotxt-choose-deferred (&optional method search-string) "Prompt a user for a search string, then ask the user to select an item from the citation.If METHOD is supplied, it should be one of :title-creator-year, :fields, or :everything.If SEARCH-STRING is supplied, it should be the search string."

If one could also add the 'html' object which the zotxt Zotero plugin returns (the nomenclature is a little misleading, I know), then that information could be made available to emacs/org for use on export. See line 307-309 of the zotxt extension, here: https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotxt/src/a12d538ae9245b142fdb55550b2d241e43b82221/extension/bootstrap.js?at=master Not sure if this helps much?

The following is for MS Word output, not ODT, but you can of course read in Word files in Libreoffice and save as ODT if desired. Although I do strive to only have to work in org (+ LaTeX), I do sometimes have to generate Word files, especially for conference publications. In this case, I still use org but I generate the final document using org -> LaTeX and then use pandoc to get me the doc file using a shell script that looks like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #!/bin/sh -f BASE=$(basename $1 .tex) CSL="/home/ucecesf/synced/share/citation.styles/acm-siggraph.csl" if [ -f default.csl ]; then CSL="default.csl" fi echo "Converting " $BASE.tex " to " $BASE.docx " using bib style " $CSL pandoc --bibliography=/home/ucecesf/share/texmf/bibtex/bib/papers.bib --csl=${CSL} --filter pandoc-citeproc ${BASE}.tex -o ${BASE}.docx --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The key is pandoc with bib styles. The scripts defaults to using an ACM SIGGRAPH style but will use a "default" style if present in the current directory. Although you say your colleagues do not use BiBTeX, it does not stop you from using it within org and then exporting the result... With org exporting LaTeX fragments as images (hence my recent emails about dvipng...), I get equations (on the printed page) and bibliography without having to suffer using Word...

Hi, Matt, Yes, now I have not just a workflow, but a code solution for Org/Zotero/ODT export that has been tried and tested for a while. It now supports multiple references in one citation, prefixes, suffixes, locators, and year-only citations, and produces 'live' Zotero refmarks in ODT, so you can do all the changes you want in LibreOffice afterward. It also does some very limited but useful things for html (DOI links and links that will work on Wordpress blogs with Katie Seaborn's ZotPress extension). It depends on Eric Hetzner's excellent zotero-plain and org-zotero packages, and hence on the MozRepl extension on the Firefox side, though you can use the ODT export functionality itself without those dependencies. I haven't yet announced it on the list, for three reasons. 1) Not very polished. There's some messy code, a poor man's user interface, and no editing support for multiple citations (but support for exporting them!). 2) It's part of a more ambitious project I set myself for an all-round citation system that I never got on with. 3) It uses this cool idea I had for how to use citation links differently, but it imposes certain syntax conventions on the user, and they may yet change in backward-incompatible ways if I develop this further. If this sounds interesting, I can post the code here 'as is' for you to try out, but I'd better update the docs first, which could take a day or two.

I am certainly not the person to implement anything "properly!" But I do agree -- if we had great citation support, with bibtex and Zotero undrestood as portable backends, then (a) i would really be able to work in org start to finish, and (b) I could start to recommend it to colleagues, as I'm itching to do. In the meantime, I think zotxt is the best starting point for me. But I would certainly be willing to test, debug, contribute minor patches, etc. to anyone who wants to take the project on properly (it is almost certainly beyond my limited skills).

Simple links like the ones I use in org-ref are perfect for simple citation needs. It handles all different kinds of citations (cite, citet, textcite,...) and multiple citations. org-ref automates selection of keys and insertion via reftex or helm. They are all we need for the kind of scientific publication my group does. We have published six peer-reviewed publications so far with just these simple links. I do concede that if you use many "non-simple: features of biblatex, you are heading for trouble with links. You can probably just use raw LaTeX then. [[textcite:KEY]] is not required unless KEY has some particular characters like spaces or other link-breaking characters. textcite:KEY works just fine for me. I do agree that \textcite[pre][post]{KEY} is trickier and uglier to solve. I have only found this approach [[textcite:KEY][pre text::post text]] to work particularly well, and you have to parse the description in the export. I use :: as the divider, since it seems unlikely to be in either element. It takes a little more thought to automate insertion of these, but the link insertion machinery of org-mode will do it in org-ref. If you use descriptive links in org-mode, it collapses into just the description, which I don't like but live with. The newest org-ref has a minibuffer message feature that should show you a summary of the citation when your cursor is idle on that link though. I don't want to start a war over links vs dedicated element for citations. I just want to point out that links work really well for a large set of use cases, and other solutions are not likely to be as simple to use. My thoughts are biased of course since I have invested a lot of time and thought into org-ref, and I don't see the limitations you suggest in our daily work. If you send me some examples of what is not easy, maybe we can see if org-ref can do it.

Although my home-baked solution presently works for me, I am inclined to agree. I've just had a glance at: http://pandoc.org/README.html#citations It looks to me like Pandoc has a quite general solution, and it also looks like Org could use Pandoc's citation syntax as-is. I would suggest borrowing this syntax as a starting point for building citation support into Org. #+BEGIN_QUOTE Citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons. Each citation must have a key, composed of ‘@’ + the citation identifier from the database, and may optionally have a prefix, a locator, and a suffix. The citation key must begin with a letter or _, and may contain alphanumerics, _, and internal punctuation characters (:.#$%&-+?<>~/). Here are some examples: Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, ch. 1]. Blah blah [@doe99, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and *passim*]. Blah blah [@smith04; @doe99]. A minus sign (-) before the @ will suppress mention of the author in the citation. This can be useful when the author is already mentioned in the text: Smith says blah [-@smith04]. You can also write an in-text citation, as follows: @smith04 says blah. @smith04 [p. 33] says blah. #+END_QUOTE Org does use single brackets and `@'-signs for other things (footnote markers, priorities, statistics cookies, inactive timestamps, list counters, inline export snippets -- I think that's it). But these should all be pretty easy to tell apart from citations using regular expressions, so I wouldn't expect parsing this syntax to present any difficulties. Does anyone have citation needs that this syntax doesn't cover? Using this syntax would also have the advantage that Pandoc can already parse it, which would reduce friction for Org users who convert their documents with Pandoc (and Pandoc users who need to deal with Org inputs). Since this seems like a significant contingent of Org users, that's something to consider. The bigger question is whether, in addition to a citation *syntax*, it would be a lot of work to add support for the various citation database formats, as well as the various output styles, and which ones to support.

I guess. But it can be added gradually. BTW: Org has an almost-agnostic format for storing citation data via org-bibtex.el.

Well, that would certainly suit me, as I already store my citation data in org-bibtex format, and generate a .bib file as needed from it. I think Pandoc does something similar with YAML, either in-file or in a separate bibliography file.

It's been years since I looked at Pandoc, and I think they've added some functionality since then. Prefix, locator, suffix, and multiple references in one human-readable citation: Great! And /much/ nicer to look at than latex \cite commands with their frankly bizarre placement of locators etc. > Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, ch. 1]. In my current homebrewn solution for Zotero, I have tried to do something similarly readable using Org link syntax (sorry, Rasmus!) with the database entry ID as link target, and parsing the description part for prefix/author-date/locator/suffix, but with a slightly different syntax than Pandoc uses. In my solution the above would be: Blah blah [[zotero:0_A43F89;0_E25CB3][(see: Doe 1999: p.33-35; also: Smith 2004: ch. 1)]]. > A minus sign (-) before the @ will suppress mention of the author in the > citation.

In my current Zotero solution: Smith says blah [[zotero:0_E25CB3][(2004)]]. > Does anyone have citation needs that this syntax doesn't cover? It's great, as long as your database uses mnemonic citekeys like doe99. Zotero doesn't, but uses keys that are meaningless to humans, like 0_A43F89. Unfortunately [see @0_A43F89, p. 5] wouldn't look nearly as nice as [see @doe99, p.5], and it wouldn't help you remember what you referenced. I think the typical workflow combining Zotero with Pandoc is to export a BibTex file from Zotero and reference the BibTex citekeys from there. I could live with that much of the time. But that workflow doesn't help with something I often want to do, which is to export to ODT and have 'live' Zotero citations that I can continue to work with in LibreOffice. > Using this syntax would also have the advantage that Pandoc can already > parse it, which would reduce friction for Org users who convert their > documents with Pandoc (and Pandoc users who need to deal with Org > inputs).

OTOH, don't Org users convert their documents with Pandoc mostly because cross-backend citation support is lacking? > The bigger question is whether, in addition to a citation *syntax*, it > would be a lot of work to add support for the various citation database > formats, as well as the various output styles, and which ones to > support. Possibly more work if it's worth if we adopt Pandoc syntax, since Pandoc-citeproc seems to handle nearly everything that is based on plain text. To truly support citations natively, we'd essentially have to implement something like citeproc in elisp. Not that I haven't been thinking about that...

Even bibtex keys are not mnemonic enough in my opinion (maybe it is fairer to put the limitation on what I can remember though ;) I recently implemented a neat idea in org-ref that will show you the full citation in the minibuffer when your cursor is idle over a cite link. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cEb6F9AEu0 to see it in action. I played around with many variations of tool tips, etc... and settled on the minibuffer as the lightest weight, least disruptive flow. On the other hand, if the concern about mnemonic is remembering what to type in, then you should consider using a completion tool. org-ref has completion by key (which I do not use because I do not remember keys), but also key selection through either reftex or helm-bibtex. It is surprisingly easy to make a helm selection buffer. All you need is a way to get the possible candidates from zotero, e.g. by parsing the entries to get a list of (description . zotero-key) for each entry. description is what you see in helm to narrow, and zotero-key is what is sent to an action function that takes care of formatting and inserting the keys. > > I think the typical workflow combining Zotero with Pandoc is to export a > BibTex file from Zotero and reference the BibTex citekeys from > there.

I also would very much like to find a way to have a single, well-supported citation framework in org -- I certainly think John's work looks incredible, and zotxt is very powerful, but it would be fantastic if one could just choose a bibliographic backend and export seamlessly to any supported format. It would be a big step forward. I guess I don't quite see, yet, what has to happen for the work of various contributors to be consolidated; clearly Erik, You, and John have worked in overlapping and distinct directions, but I would be veyr enthusiastic about helping a unified approach emerge, espeically one that supported Zotero.

For what it’s worth, using pandoc citations now will work right now if you output to markdown and then parse in pandoc. e.g. [see @doe:2006article, p. 10] will work. I wrote a parser for pandoc citations (that assumes you start with a citation string, that is, it doesn’t work unless you have extracted the citation string from the document): https://bitbucket.org/egh/zot4rst/src/master/xciterst/parser.py but it doesn’t seem that org-element.el uses a grammar, so I’m not sure how much that would help.

A simple "latex tutorial" web search brings back many links. I can send you a couple of PDF documents off-list, if you wish, of documents I have used in the past. The original text by Leslie Lamport is also a very good starting point. I do wonder, however, how much you need to know if you are using org. In fact, you can probably learn a lot by looking at the LaTeX that org produces... and many of us are happy to help with the odd org-LaTeX issues that can arise! -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.50.1, Org release_8.3beta-726-gd34b80.dirty ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 34+ messages in thread

(interactive) (let* ((bibfile (expand-file-name (car (org-ref-find-bibliography)))) ;; this is probably a full path (current-file (buffer-file-name)) (basename (file-name-sans-extension current-file)) (md-file (concat basename ".md")) (docx-file (concat basename ".docx"))) (when (file-exists-p docx-file) (delete-file docx-file)) (org-export-to-file 'md md-file) (shell-command (format "pandoc -s -S --bibliography=%s %s -o %s" bibfile md-file docx-file)) (org-open-file docx-file '(16)))) #+END_SRC this works because i defined a markdown format function that converts the cite link to pandoc format on export. I could avoid the markdown translation if I could do an org to org export that would do that. With a little work we could define file tags like: #+PANDOC_CSL: some-csl-file that would also get passed to the pandoc command to determine the style of the citation and bibliography.

Lets say we have citations like: zotero:zotero-key or [@zotero-key]. These are easy to get I think. I am still unclear on what you do after that. So far I only have used bibtex as the backend database, and there are programs like bibtex and pandox that create the bibliography from it.

It is not even that difficult to make the pandoc citations clickable to get similar features as in org-ref. They just don't have the org-element support. Having tried this, I don't see any obvious advantages over org-links (except that I still have to figure out how to export org to org, with a translation of org-link to pandoc citation). See this example: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/01/29/Export-org-mode-to-docx-with-citations-via-pandoc/ The conversion is not perfect, but it gets pretty far. Probably not far enough to use for production except in the simplest cases.

Then, once the citations are in, org-ref provides functionality to see what is cited, open the reference, pdf, search in scientific search engines, other utilities, etc... I can imagine there being backend (bibtex, ox-bibtex, zotero, ...) specific functions to do these things (usually you have to get some information from the entry to act, like get a doi to open a url, etc...). The formatting of the bibliography is almost always done by a dedicated program, e.g. bibtex, biblatex, or now in some cases pandoc. org-ref just provides functionality to export org and transform the links into the format required for those programs. If it were possible to figure out how to insert zotero links in a docx, then zotero would take over to make the bibliography in the docx. Ditto for mendeley, Endnote, Papers, ... The only exceptions to this are html where org-ref enables a crude and limited export of the bibliography for blog posts. I am not interested in having org-ref do much more than this, because the dedicated tools do such a good job in my opinion, it isn't worth duplicating the effort.
