Re: org-ref 3 setup

[John Kitchin]

indeed, you should only use that before parsing hook for non-latex exports. 

See the documentation for  org-export-before-parsing-hook. You need to write a function that takes one argument and does nothing for latex, and calls the csl processor otherwise.

perhaps something like this:

(defun org-ref-preprocessing (backend)
  (unless (eq backend 'latex)
    (org-ref-csl-preprocess-buffer backend)))

(setq org-export-before-parsing-hook '(org-ref-preprocessing))

The BIG advantage of launching Emacs Prelude with emacs --daemon is that
it is possible to identify (with your help in this case, John) the
reason of  a problem in such or such setup, every personal setup being
located in possible several small files  ~/.emacs.d/personal/myfile1.el,
  ~/.emacs.d/personal/myfile2.el, etc.
(I am really thankful to Bozhidar Batsov - hence this cc. to his email
address - and to all the contributors of Prelude Emacs, and I recommend
this nice starter kit for Emacs.)

John, you kindly gave me a solution to get the bibliography in an html
email exported via gnus and orgmode, and in my
.emacs.d/personal/myorgmime.el I had this line of code:

> (setq org-export-before-parsing-hook '(org-ref-csl-preprocess-buffer))  ;; to get the bibliography in email (thanks to John Kitchin)

Deactivated, the export in pdflatex works correctly for the
bibliography... I now have to find a coherent way to get both exports of
bibliography...

Many thanks John for your so kind, so constant, and so patient help !

All the best,

Jo.
