The next step is to get Scrivener set up to be LaTeX friendly so you can turn all those citation commands into properly formatted citations and a beautiful (and automatically generated, typing-free) bibliography. When this is done close the preferences dialog and you should be able to drag items from your main BD window and have the two different citation commands appear in whatever text document you’ve dropped them on. So, set the “Format when holding Option key” setting to “Template”, then choose the MMDTemplate option that appears (should be the only one!) in the menu below. The bit in the MMD-style command is where you put the page number of the reference, it’s there to remind me to be accurate and consistent with referencing as much as anything else. but they both result – when we’re done with all the LaTeX shenanigans – in the same citation and bibliography entry. I have things set up so dragging an item from the main window of BD results in a normal LaTeX-style citation command with curly brackets, but when I do the same thing with the option key held down I get an citation command with square brackets and a hash mark, Multimarkdown-style. For this we go to another of BD’s preference panels, Citation Behaviour and change a couple of the settings.

When that’s done you can move on to the next step, this is telling BD how and when you want to use this template.

And even when a new reference is added to the file, no manual update is needed. bib file containing your references can be used directly (Bibtex4Word Define Bibtex File). Step 1: Selecting bibliography file With Bibtex4Word installed, the. Next we have to tell BD about this template and what we want to use it for look in BD preferences and find the Template Files panel, add the file you just made as the default MMD Template – make it look like this… (without the green stuff of course!) Beside the macro itself, you need to have a the MikTeX word processing package installed on your PC. Save the file, somewhere your not going to lose it or accidentally delete it, as MMDTemplate.txt Copy this and paste it into a plain text document… [#

Now, in order to allow us to drag this from the BibDesk (BD hereon) library window to Scrivener (or any other text editor) we need to make a template file and make changes to a couple of BD’s preferences.įirst of all the MMDTemplate file.

If not, add something manually, it doesn’t matter what as long as you make sure it’s got a citation key – BibDesk will nag you to choose one or auto-generate one if you prefer that. I am assuming you’ve got something in a BibDesk database to play with. you know what they are!) and (2)that they’re not too intrusive and distract you from your real content.

The process of getting Scrivener and my LaTeX writing set up was divided into three separate/linked sub-processes (if you like…) This article details the first, how to set up BibDesk to allow you to drag works from your bibliographic database and have them appear as properly formatted citations in your final document – they look different in the intermediate Scrivener document but that doesn’t really matter, the important things for that are (1)that they’re human-readable (i.e.
