Hi,
I've been using ox-bibtex.el for a couple of days now and am really
enjoying both the bibtex integration and the HTML export through
bibtex2html. I have run into one issue which I'm now sure how best to
fix.
When exporting multiple sequential citations e.g., cite:foo cite:bar
etc... I would like to see something like the following (latex used for
this example) "\cite{foo, bar}", but instead I'm getting "\cite{foo}
\cite{bar}", which leads to poorly formed PDFs (a similar thing happens
for HTML export).
My question is how best to fix this, should I write a filter function,
or does the export engine already have processes in place to handle
these sorts of export context issues?
Thanks,
--

That was, indeed, the original way to handle citations in the former org-export-bibtex.el. It is still supported in both LaTeX, obviously, and HTML (which will split the above among two anchors). "cite" link support was added later, and is lacking in this area. >> My question is how best to fix this, should I write a filter function, >> or does the export engine already have processes in place to handle >> these sorts of export context issues? At the user level, a filter is definitely the way to go. Though, it is an interesting feature to implement in ox-bibtex.el. One idea would be to write another parse-tree filter function which would change cite links into \cite{...} commands and consecutive cite links into \cite{..., ...} commands. This would also allow us to get rid of both `org-html-link' and `org-latex-link' advices, as no more cite link would be left in the parse tree anyway. What do you think?

Perhaps the filter function should be added to ox-bibtex.el? (defun org-bibtex-group-citations (text backend info) "Convert begin/end{verbatim} to begin/end{Verbatim}. Allows use of the fancyvrb latex package." (with-temp-buffer (insert text) (goto-char (point-min)) (cond ((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex) (while (re-search-forward "\\\\cite{\\([^[:space:]\n\r]+\\)}[[:space:]\n\r]*\\\\cite{" nil t) (replace-match "\\\\cite{\\1,") (goto-char (point-min)))) ((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'html) (while (re-search-forward "\\(#[[:alnum:]]+\">[0-9]+<\/a>\\)\\][[:space:]\n\r]*\\[\\(<a href=\"#[[:alnum:]]+\">[0-9]+<\/a>\\)" nil t) (replace-match "\\1,\\2") (goto-char (point-min))))) (buffer-string))) (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-final-output-functions 'org-bibtex-group-citations) Cheers, > > Though, it is an interesting feature to implement in ox-bibtex.el.

Though, if we include it in ox-bibtex (and I agree we should), it would be better to make it more robust and use a parse tree filter instead. Then we will be able to operate on objects instead of strings and regexps. I will have a look at it, but I'm not sure it will happen before the end of the week.
