Hi all, AFAIK with the bib module one can't specify the database by an URL. I believe such feature would be great in allowing users to centralise all the bibliographical stuff in one place even when they work on several machines/places. regards, -- Jean

There is a simple reason for that: bibtex cannot read URLs. Best wishes, Taco

Probably yes, as the new system will be in-lined and using lua. Best wishes, Taco

I personally use Zotero for that - nice interface, online sync, file database and of course: it can export to bibtex. Mendeley might also work, but I had lots of problems with their "bibtex" export (simply because it wasn't really bibtex, saving fields that aren't in the specs, etc.) Best Regards, Andreas.
