Org Mode Citation and Footnote Features - Straightforward Emacs

In this video I go over Emacs org mode's powerful citation and footnote features. It allows you to easily cite in your org files from BibTeX files and customize formatting in exported LaTeX and HTML. Feel free to leave a comment with any questions, I try to reply to all of them!

I'm so glad I didn't unsubscribe, when you stopped making videos; I was hoping that you would return someday. Welcome back!

[@JakeBox0]

So wonderful to hear that, thank you very much!

[@haidermirza192]

Nice to see you again!

[@JakeBox0]

Good to be back, thanks for the comment! Good to see you here again as well.

[@goofansu]

Amazing video! I configured my Emacs to cite Zotero entries, really cool! The built-in footnote functionality is very handy to use, thank you.

[@zwwang5395]

This is awesome! It's the only missing piece I need for org mode. Thank you.

[@JakeBox0]

You’re welcome, thanks for the comment.

[@eis3nheim]

That is amazingly well explained. Thank you.

[@JakeBox0]

You are welcome, thank you for the nice comment.

[@bayleybasson5923]

This was an amazing video. Made me fall in love with eMacs

[@viniciusgajo1884]

Great video, thanks!

[@JakeBox0]

You're welcome, thanks for the comment.

[@oku9665]

This is amazing, I'm starting learning org mode and org agenda, and your videos are valuable information for me, thank you so much...

[@JakeBox0]

Very glad to help. Feel free to offer any video ideas that might help you.

[@mohammedalbatati5529]

That's amazing, thanks for sharing

[@JakeBox0]

You’re welcome, thanks for the comment.

[@slalomsk8er397]

nice, saved for later

[@junghanacs]

wow! thanks.

[@ryanwwest]

This is awesome! I was wondering if there's an easy way to display the footnote text to the side of where it appears in the main text within the emacs buffer (not relying on any exports to other formats)? I'm looking for something similar in look to Google Docs comments, as I like how you don't have to leave the context to look at some text and go back again.

[@JakeBox0]

Good question. Not that I know of, might be out there. I did find this package: github.com/bastibe/annotate.el

[@airbus5717]

Finally a vid

[@hhokten]

Thanks for video. What theme are you using? And fonts?

[@JakeBox0]

Theme: doom-xcode Font: Roboto Mono

[@danielkrajnik3817]

your videos need to be included in emacs manual

[@konstantinosiliakis8290]

how do u make your bullet lists have different color for the first item? as in 10:01 each command for footnote operation is orange but for me its plain white. thank you for the great video! dropped right when i needed it

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

I think they are enclosed in code tags, so the first item will be something like "- ~s~ - reorder footnotes in _Footnotes_ section...[etc]"

[@rguy84]

This is set by the theme and/or your .emacs file. I use the Modus theme, which has different colors. Most of my org files are captures, and I also use the org-reverse-datetree package to set a custom date tree. For my set up, the date is at a 4th level heading. I have '(org-level-4 ((t (:background "#f5f5f5")))) in my emacs to give that 4th level heading a gray background, for quick identification. Two of my org files dont have capture datetrees, so the random gray looks odd, but I can overlook it since only 5-10% of my stuff is in those files.

[@JakeBox0]

Are you talking about how the [fn:N] is orange? That is defined by the org-footnote face. rguy84 is correct, it would likely be set by the theme you're using. In this video I'm using doom-xcode.

[@vp4744]

I have an extensive bib file but I also want to keep annotations with each entry. This is annotated bibliography that's commonly used for reference. I want to print the biblio with annotations as a separate doc. How do I do it independent of the org files that reference the biblio entries?

[@JakeBox0]

Unfortunately that's a bit out of the scope of this video and I'm not sure how to help, I've never actually done annotations in Bib files... I'd have to see a bit more of your setup to help. I do know you can print the bibliography, see this: orgmode.org/manual/Bibliography-printing.html Maybe these can help? Good luck, sorry I can't be of more help. cachestocaches.com/2020/3/org-mode-annotated-bibliography/ www-math.ucdenver.edu/~billups/courses/guides/annotated_bibliography.html

[@vp4744]

@@JakeBox0 Thanks very much Jake for those links. For completeness and for others stumbling here, I want to list how exactly your links have been helpful: - to create the annotate keyword in bibtex template for bib entries - to save annotations with the bib file, which for me is a bit more complicated as I have to save multiple annotations that are separate for projects, languages, multiple people entering, etc. But I can create those bib tags as needed. - lastly printing the bib entries themselves as part of normal papers, as part fo a reference doc, and as all intermediate uses such as for editing, git versions, backups, etc. All these of course need to fit in a smooth workflow, which I don't know how that will pan out, but your ideas are a great start. Thanks again.

[@konstantinosiliakis8290]

Let's say i read a pdf, how do i save its metadata in the bib file?

[@JakeBox0]

What type of metadata? Either way there might be a way to automatically extract it to a bib file with Emacs but I’d just type it manually. Or use something like Zotero (but then we’re out of Emacs), I think there’s an Emacs option but I’m not familiar.

[@levo9198]

i do your steps but say me, "No bibliography set", i need something more?

[@fabianyanez4105]

Muchas gracias señor! Antes no podía agarrar una novia, pero ya que se come hacer citaciones, ya te go 20 novias. Te invito a mi boda :)

[@JakeBox0]

Que bueno. ¡De nada amigo!
