a problem with org-exp-bibtex

a problem with org-exp-bibtex

[aldrin d'souza]

hello,

i use org mode for publishing my notes and i find the org-exp-bibtex
functionality very useful because it allows me to separate my
references cite them neatly using the \cite{} notation. however, i'm
facing an issue with it.

here's a simple org/bibtex combination to reproduce the probem:

----------[test.org]----------
note
* org-exp-bibtex
i love org. \cite{org}
#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: test plain
------------------------------

and here is the bibtex file (test.bib):

----------[test.bib]----------
@Manual{org,
  title = "org-mode manual",
  url   = "http://orgmode.org/manual"
}
------------------------------

when i export the note as html the \cite{org} bit gets replaced by a
link which points to "#sec-1" inside the generated html file. it
should have pointed to "#org" because that's where the cite
description is.

the weird part is that it works fine if i don't have any sections in
the file. for example, if the org file is changed to the following
everything works fine:

----------[test.org]----------
note
org-exp-bibtex
i love org. \cite{org}
#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: test plain
------------------------------

any help in getting this to work for org-files with sections would be great.

thanks,

The problem seems to be that org-exp-bibtex generates a link like:
\[_{}[[org][1]]\] and newer versions of org-mode seem to want
to make that link into the *section* instead to the given anchor.

Now what is currently the sanctioned way to generate a link like:
[<a href="#foobar">1</a>] inline?

btw the repo at http://aoi.yi.org/~taruti/org-mode/ has some fixes
to org-exp-bibtex.

Yes, there is a problem here.  Org sees the link [[org][bla]] and  
thinks it should search for the string "org".  It does, finds a match,  
and consequently liks to the section where the match occurred.

Up to now there was o stable way to enforce a fiven internal link  
target.
I have just pushed a change into the git repo that will allow

  [[#foobar][description]]

make a link

   <a href="#foobar">description</a>

Taru, I think if you switch to this after pulling
the new versin or Org, it should work.

Thanks!

My repo is updated to support the new link syntax.

thanks a lot Taru and Carsten - with your suggestions I got it working
just the way I wanted it to.
