To use <application>Referencer</application> with BibTex

49.

<application>Referencer</application> maintains its own library of your documents, rather than loading and editing a BibTeX file. As such, when you're ready to use your library in your LaTeX document, you can have <application>Referencer</application> generate a BibTeX file (by choosing <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Library</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Export to BibTex</guimenuitem></menuchoice>). By default this will include all documents in your library: if you would rather only export some documents then you can use the <guilabel>Selection:</guilabel> field in the export dialog to restrict the export to certain documents. Rather than repeatedly exporting when you make changes, you can tell <application>Referencer</application> to write the BibTeX file every time you change your library (<menuchoice><guisubmenu>Library</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Manage BibTex File</guimenuitem></menuchoice>).

50.

<application>Referencer</application> will automatically handle conversion of special characters (e.g. <literal>ß</literal>) to their <application>LaTex</application> equivalents (e.g. <literal>\ss</literal>). Depending on the BibTeX style you are using in your work, capitalization of text in your LaTex output may differ from that in your <application>Referencer</application> library. This is to allow publishers to impose their own capitalization schemes. If you want text to be capitalized in your work exactly as it is in your library, then you can use the <guilabel>Protect capitalization</guilabel> option in the BibTeX export dialog.

51.

If you already have a BibTeX file, you can import it into <application>Referencer</application> by choosing <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Library</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Import...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the menubar.

52.

Importing and then exporting a BibTex file is not guaranteed (or intended) to produce exactly the same file as went in: <application>Referencer</application> is not a BibTeX editor!

53.

Information such as document filenames and tags is not included in BibTeX files. You should always use your <application>Referencer</application> library file as the authoritative copy.

To add documents by file/folder

56.

Choose <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Documents</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Add file …</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the menubar.

57.

If you have some document files you'd like Referencer to know about, you can add one or more files, or a whole folder (by choosing <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Documents</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Add folder …</guimenuitem></menuchoice>), and <application>Referencer</application> will create entries for each file. PDF files will be read, and <application>Referencer</application> will do its best to fill out the metadata for you.
