bibtex support in Mathematica 8
Stephan
has anyone had success with the bibtex support in Mathematica 8? I can't even type in a bibtex file. If I write some text in a text cell and open Insert -> Citation in the menu. The submenu contains only "Bibliographical Note..." but no dialog for a bibtex- or endnote-file or so.
Thanks,
Stephan

THEN the menu item >Insert >Citation > Bibliographical Reference
can be selected and the dialog opens where you can select your
BibTex data base.

Any help?
Alexei Boulbitch
Following the post of Stephan I tried to insert an EndNote citation (EndNote 9, Mathematica 8). It did not work:
Menu/Insert/Citation/Bibliographical Reference opens an empty dialog box, that sees no data base
(that has been open before the above operation).
A bug?

It only works on Windows (though not stated in the documentation). I lost a day trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Prerelease? If I make in a new 8.0 Release Version Notebook a Text Cell
and the >Insert >Citation then the first item in the pop up is
>Bibligraphical Reference
then >Bibliographical Note then (greyed) >Edit bibliographical Note
Then a horizonal line and below the line the items Set/Change citation
style and >Rebuild Bibliography and Notes.
I have no idea why this should be different in your case if you use
8.0 release version "8.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (November 7, 2010)".

under Windows. We'd hoped to deliver it at least on Mac for v8 as well, but it
just didn't make it for v8. But you should register your interest with Wolfram
Research Technical Support. A showing of interested people may influence how
quickly we can deliver something on non-Windows platforms.

And yet (to the frustration of this user) it is touted as a new
feature in the Mac version:
guide/SummaryOfNewFeaturesIn80
Insert > Citation -- integration with both EndNote and BibTeX citation
styles
And it is fully documented in the Mac version:
tutorial/CitationManagement) (no mention made that it doesn't work on
Macs!)
There was a thread recently about the standard of documentation. We
appreciate the enormity of the task of documenting functions but in
this case Wolfram clearly dropped the ball by including documentation
of functionality that doesn't exist.
(and I note another post where someone wasted a lot of time because of
this inaccurate addition to the documentation)
Could you advise what other Mac documented new features are Windows
only?
thanks
Mike

Well, given the choice between useful but undocumented features and
fully documented but non-existent features, I have no doubt about my
preference.

Why frame it as a question of choice? Shouldn't you be aiming to
eliminate both? Both instances tend to waste users time. ...as we
already saw above from a post by Eric Brown.

Well, I guess this (sort of) proves that these irritating "emoticons" =
are sometimes really needed... Sigh.

Ok ,that means I will not write my thesis with mathematica - without a
good reference support I can forget it. I cannot tell how disappointed
I am. To tell that there is a new feature and describe this feature in
the documentation is a mere lie if people have to find this signifcant
exclusion in a newsgroup. So please implement that feature presto.
