Bibtex and beamer

Bibtex and beamer

[Andrea Crotti]

I'm doing a presentation and using bibtex for keeping my references,
exactly how I will use it in the dissertation.

That's really wonderful and it works like a charm, using reftex-citep
and an external bibliography file.

Only one thing is not clear, how do I tell org-mode to call
pdflatex/bibtex "enough" times to get all the links correctly setup.

I didn't get it working, and only calling manually
- pdflatex
- bibtex
- pdflatex
- pdflatex

on the generated I could get the correct references...

If you're using a *nix system, you might try customizing
`org-latex-to-pdf-process` with "texi2dvi".

I've been having intermittent issues with bibtex and beamer. Not sure
what did it on my end, but I flip between "texi2dvi" for
beamer/latex/bibtex usage, and "shell command sequence" (what you
mention) for publishing PDFs on my personal website (like my CV).

Thanks a lot, with this

(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process '("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "bibtex %b" "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))

It works quite well, even if it looks like an hack, but I can avoid
using texi2dvi I think...

It takes some time though for the whole process, and sometimes only one
run of "pdflatex" would suffice.
Is it so hard to have a smarter check for how and what passes are
needed?

Is not enough to check if all the references are satisfied?

And another thing, why do I have to setup a default citation file?
(setq reftex-default-bibliography "cit")

In theory from my understanding reftex should grep this in my file
\bibliography{cit}

and open that file to see the citations, is that not correct?
