Writano keeps your Reference Library and each project’s .bib file in sync, so you never hand-copy BibTeX between the two. Add a reference in one place and it shows up in the other.

Two views, one set of references

Your library and the project bibliography are two views of the same sources:

  • Adding a library reference to a document writes its entry into the project .bib.
  • An inline bibliography in a document can be extracted into a .bib for the library.
  • A paper already in your library stays resolvable, so its citations don’t get flagged as “Not Cited” by mistake.

Paste or import BibTeX

You can bring BibTeX straight in — paste an entry or drop a .bib file — and it becomes a library reference like any other. The key is preserved, so citations in your source keep working.

@article{smith2024,
  title   = {A tighter bound on the coupling},
  author  = {Smith, J. and Doe, A.},
  journal = {Phys. Rev. Lett.},
  year    = {2024}
}

Compiling with the bibliography

Because the compiler ships a complete LaTeX distribution, biblatex with biber works out of the box — compile and your in-text citations and the reference list render together from the synced .bib.

Tip: Let Writano manage the .bib. Editing citations through the library keeps keys consistent across a project and its collaborators.
