caleb 0.5.0

A tool to automatically retrieve bibtex entries

caleb

caleb is a tool to automatically fill in your Latex citations.

Usage examples

See the examples directory along with the an_example.tex file. The following examples occur in the examples directory.

• The best way is probably to integrate into latexmk. The -pdflatex flag allows us to run caleb after each pdflatex call.

latexmk -pdf -pdflatex='pdflatex %O %S; caleb %B' an_example

• We can set the -pdflatex flag in a .latexmkrc file. This can either go in the your tex project folder or in the home directory. So in the .latexmkrc file, include the following line (see examples directory for an example):

$pdflatex='pdflatex %O %S; caleb %B'

• The barebone approach is to run caleb before running bibtex.

pdflatex an_example
caleb an_example
bibtex an_example
pdflatex an_example
pdflatex an_example

• By default, caleb will ignore any citation where crossref.org returns multiple results. To take the first result ordered by relevance, pass the --take-first flag. For example,

caleb --take-first an_example
