HI

I just wanted to start a _friendly_ exchange of thought which may end
up in some code related with citations and LaTeX. (sort of my SoC :-)
)

It all starts with the support for the LaTeX '\jobname' macro. It is
quite convenient and I have been using it for a long time now. In the
'old dog don't learn new tricks' mode, I started using it for
citations and it looks like it works in the generated LaTeX code, but
not in the integration with org-cite. I'm thinking about the
possibility of making org-mode accept and treat \jobname correctly.

Having said that, I was also (just a bit) bugged by the fact that
bibliography file names are completely expanded when generating LaTeX.
Couldn't we avoid that for LaTeX export?

 Thoughts?

Pedro,

maybe start by showing an example of where \jobname does not work with
org while working with LaTeX directly?  I have never used this LaTeX
command and know nothing about it.

Secondly, what is the problem with bibliography file names being
expanded?

Hi Eric,

\jobname is the shorthand for ‘the file that you are compiling with the latex command’. I use it in my templates for LaTEX presentations and documents I conjunction with \addbibresource{} 
I always have a main.Tex + main.bib file pair.

Recognizing this in org-cite would be nice.

Re the use of absolute vs relative path when exporting to LaTeX, I might want to export to LaTeX and transfer to overleaf.com and relative paths would make more sense there, wouldn’t they?

Thanks for the exchange/PA

Ah, okay; thank you.

Yes, this is a very valid point.  And often a source of real issues (I
have this problem sharing with my group where most use Windows... issues
with paths and upper/lower case names).

I don't know why, but it sounds familiar ;-)

It is in `org-cite-list-bibliography-files'.
AFIAU, full path is forced there to make #+SETUP containing local
bibliography path work:

---- main.org -----
#+SETUP: settings.org
------ end --------

---- ../settings.org -----
#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: local.bib
--------------------------

One reasonable option could be keeping relative paths relative iff the
#+BIBLIOGRAPHY is derived from a file inside the same directory with the
exported file.

Tentative patch attached.

Looks reasonable... we put the .org and .bib file(s) in the same
directory and we can use relative paths... That's what I would do in a
pure LaTeX environment (and in overleaf.com)

Could be expanded to same directory or its leaves... like when I have
the .org file and a bibliography directory in the same directory...
(Just thinking aloud)

Will check tomorrow before starting with /real life/ ;-)

Thx, /PA

I applied an alternative patch that uses the approach from
`org-export--update-included-link' - relative paths are resolved against
top-level file dir and absolute paths are kept absolute.

Handled.

Hi Ihor,

sorry for being so silent, but I'm currently at 300% occupation. And statistical mux doesn't work well on human beings...

Marking this as TODO...

thx,/pa
