BibTex support in 2.1b?

Hi-

There's very little documentation of the BibTeX support in MMD 2.1b.

With MM Composer, if I place a .bib file in the same directory as my .mmd file, it looks like the reference HUD will list all of the bibcites in an MMD friendly format. Is there more to it? I thought the preview might expand the reference or something, but it's hardly a problem if not. ;-)

I was a very big user of MMD in 2009-10 and graduated to Ulysses 2.0+LaTeX. The recent release of Ulysses, while a laudable application, currently falls short for the book I'm working on. I bought MMD Composer and am really impressed, Fletcher! Your designs are really first-class.

Best wishes, Charles

   Charles,

   BibTeX citations are for LaTeX, not HTML --- so they don't work in the HTML preview. As you note, however, they will be listed in the references HUD which allows you to easily search and insert the cite key.

   If you want to use citations in HTML, you can use the native MMD format. It's somewhat limited, but gets the job done:

   I'm glad you like Composer. I'm pleased with how it is turning out, though I still want to polish a few things and look into new features to continue to improve it!

   F-
