Re: [Jabref-users] Formatting authors in the text

[Panos I. <pan...@gm...>]

This is to let you know that I found the solution on how to generate the
reference list!

In case anyone has the same question, I got the sample html layout file
from here

http://haertle.ch/programs/jabref/

and then tweaked the contents of the html_layout.html file, so that it
contains the same formatting rules as my jstyle file (for the particular
journal I'm interested in).

Last, I created a new custom export type from "Options -> Manage Custom
exports" by selecting the html_layout.html file and giving the other
details as well (name of the journal in the first field and the ".html"
extension in the last field).

After doing these, you can select your references and choose "File ->
Export selected entries". From the "Save" window that will appear, select
your newly created custom export type from the "Files of type" dropdown
menu. Clicking "Save" will create an html file which you can open in a web
browser and then copy/paste the reference list to your LO document.

If anyone needs the files I used I'll be happy to share them.
