Add additional information from bibliographic entry into note, with pre-defined formatting? about citar-denote HOT 4 CLOSED

Another reason we cannot implement the functionality you suggested is that Citar-Denote allows multiple references per note. Also, adding metadata to the front-matter duplicates information, creating synchronisation issues between the note and bibliography files.

This new function lets you access the bibliographic entry in the original source. This function opens the bibliographic entry associated with the note. It will be added to the next release.

  (defun citar-denote-open-reference-entry ()
    "Open  attachments, notes and links associated with a bibliographic note."
    (interactive)
    ;; Any citation keys in the note?
    (if-let ((keys (citar-denote-retrieve-references (buffer-file-name)))
             (key (citar-select-ref
                   :filter (citar-denote-has-citekeys keys))))
            (citar-open-entry key)
      (if (denote-file-is-note-p (buffer-file-name))
          (when (yes-or-no-p "Current buffer does not reference a citation key.  Add a reference? ")
            (citar-denote-add-citekey)
            (citar-denote-dwim))

Hi @johkneisl,

It is possible to add additional front matter. That is not with Denote, but a function of either Org Mode or Markdown. Plain text has no rules.

In both Markdown and Org Mode, the author is reserved for the author of the file and title is the title of the file (which can be the same as the title of the literature).

What would the purpose be or repeating the data from your BibTeX file in the note? You can easily access this information via Citar. We have Issue 13 which aims to make it easier to view the bibliographic data related to references.

Thanks, makes sense to me.
I just switched from non-emacs software, I think I stumbled into citar-denote too quickly,
before really looking into the power of citar (and emacs) first.
The new function seems useful to me.

Good move,

Emacs is quite different to other software. Everything is modular like a box of Lego. Every package builds on others.

Perhaps my website is useful (will soon include Denote).

P:)
