;; Make RefTeX work with Org-Mode

Load ebib
ebib is a bibtex database manager that works inside emacs. It can talk to org-mode. See the ebib project page for more. When Ebib is loaded, you can run it with M-x ebib.

(autoload 'ebib "ebib" "Ebib, a BibTeX database manager." t)
(setq ebib-preload-bib-files 
      '("/Users/kjhealy/Documents/bibs/socbib.bib"))
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'(lambda ()
        (local-set-key "\C-cb" 'ebib-insert-bibtex-key)))

Configure AucTeX

Use pdfLaTeX
- Take this out to compile to DVI, instead.
```
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'TeX-PDF-mode)
```

Configure Biber
Allow AucTeX to use biber as well as/instead of bibtex.

  ;; Biber under AUCTeX
  (defun TeX-run-Biber (name command file)
    "Create a process for NAME using COMMAND to format FILE with Biber." 
   (let ((process (TeX-run-command name command file)))
      (setq TeX-sentinel-function 'TeX-Biber-sentinel)
      (if TeX-process-asynchronous
          process
        (TeX-synchronous-sentinel name file process))))

  (defun TeX-Biber-sentinel (process name)
    "Cleanup TeX output buffer after running Biber."
    (goto-char (point-max))
    (cond
     ;; Check whether Biber reports any warnings or errors.
     ((re-search-backward (concat
                           "^(There \\(?:was\\|were\\) \\([0-9]+\\) "
                           "\\(warnings?\\|error messages?\\))") nil t)
      ;; Tell the user their number so that she sees whether the
      ;; situation is getting better or worse.
      (message (concat "Biber finished with %s %s. "
                       "Type `%s' to display output.")
               (match-string 1) (match-string 2)
               (substitute-command-keys
                "\\\\[TeX-recenter-output-buffer]")))
     (t
      (message (concat "Biber finished successfully. "
                       "Run LaTeX again to get citations right."))))
    (setq TeX-command-next TeX-command-default))

(eval-after-load "tex"
  '(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list '("Biber" "biber %s" TeX-run-Biber nil t :help "Run Biber"))
  )

Use latexmk for compilation by default

  (eval-after-load "tex"
    '(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list '("latexmk" "latexmk -synctex=1 -shell-escape -pdf %s" TeX-run-TeX nil t :help "Process file with latexmk"))
    )
  (eval-after-load "tex"
    '(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list '("xelatexmk" "latexmk -synctex=1 -shell-escape -xelatex %s" TeX-run-TeX nil t :help "Process file with xelatexmk"))
    )

(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq TeX-command-default "latexmk")))

Set a Path to Executables (optional)
- The location of the LaTeX excecutables is system dependent. AUCTeX calls everything through a shell, so you may or may not need this. This source-code block is turned off by default as it should be added to the user's personal configuration as needed.
```
(setenv "PATH" (concat "/usr/texbin:" (getenv "PATH")))
```

Configure RefTeX

Default Bibliography
- This is important when editing source code in Org-babel, since the LaTeX source code block being edited probably doesn't include the \bibliography{} command that RefTeX uses to find bibliographic database(s). Make certain also that RefTeX has a path to the bibliographic databases. This source-code block is turned off be default as it should be configured by the user in a personal file/directory.
```
(setq reftex-default-bibliography
      (quote
       ("user.bib" "local.bib")))
```

Configure Org-babel

Add LaTeX to the list of languages Org-babel will recognize.

   (require 'ob-latex)
;; (org-babel-add-interpreter "latex")
;; (add-to-list 'org-babel-tangle-langs '("latex" "tex"))

Add LaTeX to a list of languages that raise noweb-type errors.

(add-to-list 'org-babel-noweb-error-langs "latex")
