But these are supposed to work:

refdbc -o foo.xhtml -t xhtml -C getref :ID:=7
refdbc -o foo.xhtml -t xhtml -C getref :KW:="titanium oxide"

refdbc in batch mode accepts all options to the specified command on
the command line. There is no need to enclose the whole getref command
in quotes. The obvious advantage is that you get rid of one level of
quoting.

regards,
Markus
