CiteInPages 1.02

A suite of four Applescripts that allow BibDesk to be used as an integrated reference manager with Pages.
CiteInPages is a suite of four Applescripts that allow the open source reference manager BibDesk to be used as an integrated reference manager with Apple's word processor, Pages (v. 3, from iWork '08).

Using BibDesk templates, "working citations" containing BibTeX cite keys in a defined format can be dragged or inserted by script from BibDesk into Pages documents as the documents are edited.

CiteInPages replaces these working citations with numbered or author-date in-text citations, creates a correctly-ordered bibliography based on a BibDesk template, and pastes the bibliography into the Pages document.

It has advantages over commercial reference managers for use with Pages because it works on native Pages files through Pages itself and does not require converting the file to rtf, which may cause some loss of information, inserted images or layout features.

CiteInPages is provided freely for use and modification with a BSD license.


Requirements:

BibDesk 1.3.14 or later.

Pages 3 or later.


What's New in This Release:

File path processing and file duplication at the start of the script were simplified to address Pages 4 compatibility and problems that some users have had with errors related to file duplication.

Minor coding changes were made for Applescript compatibility in Tiger.

The feedback box in the author-date and alpha-numbered scripts was relocated for better aesthetics.

An updated text citation script (Pages 4 only) automatically pads inserted citations with the correct spacing; the previous version is also provided for Pages 3 compatibility.
