Relative paths to bibliography

[laughedelic]

It would be very useful to be able to put in the settings relative paths (relative to the edited markdown file or to the opened project), like ./refs.bib (I have separate bibliography for each paper). Now it works only if I put there an absolute path to the file.

laughedelic,

I'll look into this and see if I can't come up with something soon.

If you (or anyone else) feels like doing it, feel free to submit a pull request!

Thanks,
Andrew

markdown-preview-plus supports relative bibliography files for pandoc. Maybe ac-bibtex could pick up the file setting that they are using?

I was about to say exactly what @vchuravy said...

Even better, it could also read the .bib name from metadata blocks.

Really good idea -- better than #81

has someone tried to come up with a pull request already? Is there any package with a similar functionality, i.e.:

• extracting parameters from yaml meta data
• changing config folders with respect to the path of the current file ?

[rriemann]

The npm https://github.com/jonschlinkert/gray-matter allows to extract JSON objects from the meta data block of md files.

https://github.com/shd101wyy/markdown-preview-enhanced uses this npm to extract config options from the edited md file.
