Dear list,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to list all citation keys
contained in an org document. I know I could probably use a regular
expression on the current buffer that somehow matches on @ things
within brackets [ and ], but given that org needs to parse and handle
citation constructs anyway, I am sure that there is already some
function available which could be taken advantage of rather than
writing one entirely from scratch.
That is, if this is my org document:
This is a sentence with
citations. [cite:@doe1997foo;cf. @someoneelse2000 p. 3]
I would like to have an Elisp list containing only "doe1997foo" and
"someoneelse2000".
The goal I am trying to achieve is to extract a subset .bib file from
my global .bib database (which is managed by Ebib) that contains only
those entries which I cited in my org document. I only saw that Ebib
actually has support for dependant databases which should cover that
need, but this requires that this functionality is enabled when the
document is started. Now I already have a finished document with all
citations alredy in it, so that does not help much. If someone has an
idea how to approach this in a more easy way than I am currently
envisioning, a pointer is appreciated as well.
Best Regards,
Marvin Gülker
