Re: citeproc-org and org-ref 3

[Joseph Vidal-Rosset]

Dear Andras,

You are very probably right. I will have a look on this entry in my
default bibliography file.

The code

(let  ((org-export-before-parsing-hook '(org-ref-csl-preprocess-buffer)))
        (org-open-file  (org-html-export-to-html)))

put in .emacs.d/personal/preload/myorgexport.el

provokes the request of opening a html file, when emacs --daemon is
started; therefore I conclude that it should not be used as I did...

Anyway, every  tentative  to export in a bibliography in html fails at
the moment, even with a new bibliography file...  :(

Best wishes,
