Latex-Suite provides an easy way of entering bibliographic entries. Four
insert-mode mappings: <code class="literal">BBB</code>, <code class="literal">BBL</code>,
<code class="literal">BBH</code> and <code class="literal">BBX</code> are provided, all of
which essentially act in the same manner. When you type any of these in
insert-mode, you will get a prompt asking you to choose a entry type
for the bibliographic entry.
</p><p>
When you choose an entry type, a bibliographic entry template will be
inserted. For example, if you choose the option
<code class="literal">'book'</code> via the map <code class="literal">BBB</code>, then
the following template will be inserted:
</p><pre class="programlisting">@BOOK{<+key+>,
author = {<++>},
editor = {<++>},
title = {<++>},
publisher = {<++>},
year = {<++>},
otherinfo = {<++>}
}<++></pre><p>
</p><p>
<code class="literal"><+key+></code> will be highlighted in select-mode and
you can type in the bib-key. After that you can use
<code class="literal"><Ctrl-J></code> to navigate to successive locations
in the template and enter new values.
</p><p>
<code class="literal">BBB</code> inserts a template with only the fields
mandatorily required for a given entry type. <code class="literal">BBL</code>
inserts a template with commonly used extra options.
<code class="literal">BBH</code> inserts a template with more options which are
not as commonly used. <code class="literal">BBX</code> inserts a template with
all the fields which the entry type supports.
</p><div class="note" title="Mnemonic" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Mnemonic</h3><p>
<code class="literal">B</code> for Bibliographic entry, <code class="literal">L</code>
for Large entry, <code class="literal">H</code> for Huge entry, and
<code class="literal">X</code> stands for all eXtras.
</p></div><div class="section" title="3.8.1 Customizing Bib-TeX fields"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="adding-bib-options"></a>3.8.1 Customizing Bib-TeX fields</h4></div></div></div><p>
If you wish the <code class="literal">BBB</code> command to insert a few
additional fields in addition to the fields it creates, then you will
need to define global variables of the form
</p><pre class="programlisting">g:Bib_{type}_options</pre><p>
in you <code class="literal">$VIM/ftplugin/bib.vim</code> file, where
<code class="literal">{type}</code> is a string like
<code class="literal">'article'</code>, <code class="literal">'book'</code> etc. This
variable should contain one of the letters defined in the following
table
</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col></col><col></col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Character</th><th>Field Type</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>w</td><td>address</td></tr><tr><td>a</td><td>author</td></tr><tr><td>b</td><td>booktitle</td></tr><tr><td>c</td><td>chapter</td></tr><tr><td>d</td><td>edition</td></tr><tr><td>e</td><td>editor</td></tr><tr><td>h</td><td>howpublished</td></tr><tr><td>i</td><td>institution</td></tr><tr><td>k</td><td>isbn</td></tr><tr><td>j</td><td>journal</td></tr><tr><td>m</td><td>month</td></tr><tr><td>z</td><td>note</td></tr><tr><td>n</td><td>number</td></tr><tr><td>o</td><td>organization</td></tr><tr><td>p</td><td>pages</td></tr><tr><td>q</td><td>publisher</td></tr><tr><td>r</td><td>school</td></tr><tr><td>s</td><td>series</td></tr><tr><td>t</td><td>title</td></tr><tr><td>u</td><td>type</td></tr><tr><td>v</td><td>volume</td></tr><tr><td>y</td><td>year</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
For example, by default, choosing <code class="literal">'article'</code> via
<code class="literal">BBB</code> inserts the following template by default
</p><pre class="programlisting">@ARTICLE{<+key+>,
author = {<++>},
title = {<++>},
journal = {<++>},
year = {<++>},
otherinfo = {<++>}
}<++></pre><p>
However, if <code class="literal">g:Bib_article_options</code> is defined as
<code class="literal">'mnp'</code>, then <code class="literal">'article'</code> will
insert the following template
</p><pre class="programlisting">@ARTICLE{<+key+>,
author = {<++>},
title = {<++>},
journal = {<++>},
year = {<++>},
month = {<++>},
number = {<++>},
pages = {<++>},
otherinfo = {<++>}
}<++></pre><p>
</p><p>
If you have some other fields you wish to associate with an article
which are not listed above, then you will have to use the
<code class="literal">Bib_{type}_extrafields</code> option. This is a newline
separated string of complete field names which will be included in the
template. For example, if you define
</p><pre class="programlisting">let g:Bib_article_extrafields = "crossref\nabstract"</pre><p>
then the article template will include the lines
</p><pre class="programlisting">crossref = {<++>},
abstract = {<++>},</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
You will need to define <code class="literal">Bib_*</code> settings in your
<code class="literal">$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/bib.vim</code> file.
