Re: [Ebib-users] elisp function to start ebib on specified bibtex entry

[Ali T. <ali...@gm...>]

Hi Joost!

Thanks so much for this function. It will be very useful to me. I have
been using Ebib a while now and I am very happy with it. I have also
migrated my task management to org-mode. And now I have the glue that
I need to connect these two. I'm used to working with git so that will
be perfect. Once I have set things up for myself, I will probably send
a note to the org-mode mailing list. I remember that this issue has
come up there previously, so hopefully more people will find it
useful.

Thanks,
/Ali
