Making referencer export to BibTeX as a command-line option

[Patrick Farrell]

Would it be possible to have referencer export to BibTeX on
the command line, e.g. something like:

referencer --export-bibtex=references.bib references.reflib

?

Cheers for a great program!

Hi Patrick,

Doesn't the "Manage BibTex" feature do the trick for you?

This has come up before, the use case being in a makefile or so. In
general this isn't necessary if one uses the "Manage BibTeX File"
function in the Library menu to automatically regenerate the bibtex file
when the reflib file is changed. This somewhat reflects my bias as a
LyX user rather than a straight LaTeX user, since I never have a
makefile to begin with.

Is there something about the existing solution that isn't enough for
you? Without a compelling use case I'm not particularly inclined to start
implementing command line options, but if someone else wants do do it
(neatly) then patches are welcome.

Oh! First off, sorry for not reading the mailing list thoroughly
enough; I looked but I suppose I didn't look hard enough.

I hadn't realised the manage bibtex option existed; it does pretty
much what I want.

Thanks again,

Patrick
