This section of the menu contains the functions related to creating and publishing bibliographies.
refdb-create-document(type);
This command will interactively ask for the information required to run the refdbnd script. When you run this command from the menu, it will pop up a submenu with the available document types. refdbnd will create a skeleton document and a Makefile which controls the transformation steps. Depending on the customization settings, refdb-mode will load the short or the full citation format document when done. You can edit this document right away.
This submenu contains the command to create citations of references and put them into the kill ring. The citations are then available to be yanked in your source document.
refdb-create-docbook-citation-from-point(void);
bound to: Ctrl-cCtrl-rcd
Creates a DocBook citation element from the reference (in RIS or RISX format) containing point and puts it into the kill ring.
refdb-create-tei-citation-from-point(void);
bound to: Ctrl-cCtrl-rct
Creates a TEI citation element from the reference (in RIS or RISX format) containing point and puts it into the kill ring.
refdb-create-latex-citation-from-point(void);
bound to: Ctrl-cCtrl-rcl
Creates a LaTeX citation element from the reference (in RIS or RISX format) containing point and puts it into the kill ring.
refdb-create-muse-citation-from-point(void);

refdb-transform(type);
bound to: Ctrl-cCtrl-rcc
Transforms the current document to an output format. If run from the menu, a submenu with the available targets will pop up. This command will run the appropriate Makefile target to achieve the transformation. Before the actual transformation takes place, the linkends will be normalized and the user is asked to save any changes.
refdb-view-output(type);
bound to: Ctrl-cCtrl-rcv
Runs an appropriate viewer for the output generated by Transform Document. If run from the menu, a submenu with the available output types will pop up. The viewer will usually run in a separate window.
