Hi Jambu,
This is a bit cryptic. It seems to me that it is relatively easy to
change DB and tools. I currently keep all my references in a bibtex DB,
but there are plenty of conversion tools. The real problem is finding
something that works.
I still find Org mode a bit frustrating in this context. In the above
quote I say "something like \cite", but I don't really care what the
entry looks like as long as it can retrieve information from a DB and
construct the correct text reference and the correct bibliography entry
across all exports.
Is there such a DB and tool?
Cheers,
Alan
