Just finishing up a report and was taking care of the citations. I've been using C-c C-x f and it's been awesome... until I go to export to LaTeX when everything falls apart. Footnotes in my document came during unordered list items (bullets) and the LaTeX export had all kinds of mismatched brackets that I haven't been able to sort through. Is there a better way? Here's an example of what I'm experiencing:
------ \item Through further research, it turns out that World Choice Travel is
exactly how FHTM is generating income from Travelocity\footnote{Office of the State Auditor, State of Montana
\end{itemize}
So... (2010). \emph... should be after 'State of Montana' on one item
rather than made to be in between an \end{itemize} and \begin{itemize}
(no man's land, that is). Same thing with the last line '31 March...':
that should have come after 'Retrieved' two lines above.
I have found all kinds of references, but nothing that lays things out play by play. I would prefer to have org-mode integration so that I don't put in bib info in the tex file, change something, and have to do it all over again when I re-export.
So, I can find some info about Bibtex and Reftex but in my opinion it's just not very helpful. Even the bibtex.org website seems difficult to me. I copied their examples exactly and end up with 'Blablabla said Nobody ~[?]' and some weird stuff at the bottom. I have also found Mario's Brain Dump (http://www.mfasold.net/blog/2009/02/using-emacs-org-mode-to-draft-papers/) which only says to put these lines in an org-mode file:
Usually I just get something like no bibliography found, 'some references were undefined' when exporting from LaTeX mode with C-c C-c, or at one point got 'Wrong type argument stringp, nil when trying this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/2406/match=bibliography
I completely admit that I might be stupid about not finding some obvious information, but it's really been challenging!
Is there any sort of 'quick' way to use bibtex or reftex in org-mode? Googling doesn't get me hits on the org-mode manual.
I would also accept user suggestions of how to use bibtex/reftex with org-mode, but more of a 'from scratch' method. I have looked and looked and could tell you: - bibtex and reftex exist (but not really what the difference is)
- what bibtex file formats are like and what classes work with the various source types (i have the manual) - that there seems to be a way to use this in org-mode - that those who use it really like it
But not much else.
As an alternative, is there a way to: - fix my issue above? - use endnotes instead of footnotes via this method?
