<p>I'm glad you're finding MultiMarkdown Composer useful.</p>
<p>Are you using MultiMarkdown to create PDF files via LaTeX?
BibTeX is<br>
for LaTeX, not for HTML or other formats.</p>
<p>If you are using LaTeX, it should be automatic if you have
everything<br>
installed properly. A sample file is the BibTeX.text file in the
test<br>
suite:</p>

<p>As you can see, there's really not much to it.</p>

it up.</p>
<p>I see MMDC has an option to export as LaTeX, however how do I
convert that to a PDF? Or if there is LaTeX in the MMD will
Composer automatically do this?</p>
<p>Also I have installed BasicTeX for OSX and BibDesk, is that all
I need?</p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions I just really want the functionality
BibTeX would add.</p></div>Rhystag:support.multimarkdown.com,2013-02-12:Comment/350981262014-10-29T04:04:11Z2014-10-29T04:04:11ZCitations with BibTeX<div><p>Also, do I need to install the LaTeX support files? I am not
sure what directory to install to, the one listed in the readme
does not exist, instead I have texmf-config, texmf-dist,
texmf-local and texmf-var on searching, and Latex in my Library
folder.</p></div>Rhystag:support.multimarkdown.com,2013-02-12:Comment/350981262014-10-29T12:12:00Z2014-10-29T12:12:00ZCitations with BibTeX<div><p>Rhys,</p>
<p>LaTeX is a complex program, and I'm sure you can understand that
I<br>
cannot provide support for it. There are countless resources
available<br>
on the internet.</p>
<p>Yes -- you do need to install the MultiMarkdown LaTeX support
files.</p>
<p>I use MacTeX as my LaTeX distribution and it has worked well for
me thus<br>
far.</p>
<p>If all you want is basic bibliography support, you don't have to
use<br>
BibDesk. You're then responsible for handling your own citation<br>
formatting to ensure it follows the rules you need (e.g. you're
doing it<br>
manually).</p>
