25;;; Commentary:
26;;
27;; Functions to look up references in bibliography files given lists of
28;; keywords, similar to refer(1). I don't use tags since tags on .bib files
29;; only picks up the cite key, where as refer-find-entry looks for occurrences
30;; of keywords anywhere in the bibliography entry.
31;;
32;; To use:
33;; (autoload 'refer-find-entry "refer" nil t)
34;; or (require 'refer)
35;;
36;; To look for an article by Knuth about semaphores:
37;; Invoke refer-find-entry, then in response to the Keywords: prompt,
38;; say: Knuth semaphores (a blank-separated list of keywords to be used
39;; as search strings).
40;;
41;; To continue the previous search, i.e., to search for the next occurrence
42;; of the keywords, use refer-find-next-entry, or invoke refer-find-entry
43;; with a prefix argument.
44;;
45;; If the list of bibliography files changes, reinitialize the variable
46;; refer-bib-files.
47;;
48;; To customize:
49;; See variables refer-bib-files, refer-cache-bib-files and
50;; refer-bib-files-regexp. By default, these are set up so that refer
51;; looks for the keywords you specify in all the .bib files in the current
52;; directory.
53;;
54;; The only assumption I make about bib files is that they contain a bunch
55;; of entries, one to a paragraph. refer-find-entry searches paragraph by
56;; paragraph, looking for a paragraph containing all the keywords
57;; specified. So you should be able to use pretty much any bib file with
58;; this code. If your bib file does not use paragraphs to separate
59;; entries, try setting the paragraph-start/separate variables, or changing
60;; the (forward-paragraph 1) call in refer-find-entry-in-file.
