Retrieve BibTeX entries from the internet
Usage: call M-x bibretrieve Enter (part of) the author's name and/or title. Matching BibTeX entries are fetched using the configured backends and displayed in a selection buffer. The entries can then be appended to the bibliography file or inserted into the current buffer. Configuration: To select which backends to use customize the variable "bibretrieve-backends". To select a backend for a single invocation call the function with C-u M-x bibretrieve Extension: To create a new backend define a new function "bibretrieve-backend-NAME" that takes as input author and title and returns a buffer that contains bibtex entries. The function should be defined in "bibretrieve-base.el". It is then necessary to advise bibretrieve of the new backend, adding NAME to the list "bibretrieve-installed-backends". The url is retrieved via mm-url. You may want to customize the variable mm-url-use-external and mm-url-program. Acknowledgments: This program has been inspired by bibsnarf. The functions that create the urls for most backends are taken from there. This program uses the library mm-url. This programs also uses lot of function of RefTeX. The selection process is entirely based on reftex-sel. Many functions have also been adapted from there.
