syl20bnr ebe4c60264 Revert "Defer packages by default using use-package-always-defer"
This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.

The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.

BibTeX layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/1833c9c4f7b11458d157930b36bba3f906f9bd89/layers/+lang/bibtex/img/logo.png

Description

BibTeX and BibLaTeX files are a common way to manage bibliographies. The format was original designed to work with LaTeX files and subsequently has been adopted by other markup formats such as MarkDown and Org mode.

This layer adds support to manipulate BibTeX and BibLaTeX files in Spacemacs.

Features:

  • Syntax highlighting for BibTeX and BibLaTeX files.
  • Utilities for automatically adding entries from different data sources.
  • Support for inserting citations in various other modes.

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add bibtex to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Configuration

This layer also supports having a global BibTeX file. For a basic configuration, add this to your ~/.spacemacs inside dotspacemacs/user-config:

  (setq org-ref-default-bibliography '("~/Papers/references.bib")
        org-ref-pdf-directory "~/Papers/"
        org-ref-bibliography-notes "~/Papers/notes.org")

Certain modes, such as latex-mode with AucTeX, will automatically lookup references in a document if any of the recognized bibliography commands are used. Other modes may have a similar feature, or one could always set file-local variables (through SPC f v f).

You can also customize which program is used to display the PDFs. For example, to use Zathura:

  (setq org-ref-open-pdf-function
    (lambda (fpath)
      (start-process "zathura" "*helm-bibtex-zathura*" "/usr/bin/zathura" fpath)))

More configuration options are available and are detailed in the org-ref and helm-bibtex package documentations.
