Re: pybliographer export to emacs or OpenOffice

This is probably obvious to most... but if you are using emacs or any
text editor to edit a TeX file directly, then you don't even need the
cite button or anything.

Just save your references in BibTeX format in Pybliographer, then use
that file as your .bib file.  Whenever you want to insert a reference,
you just type \cite{Key}, where Key is whatever key  you are using for
the pertinent reference.

I'm writing up a thesis at the moment, so I just softlinked thesis.bib
to the .bib file containing all my references... now instead of having
a ton of work to do to type in all my reference information like I
used to, I'm already done! It's great!
