14.3 Bib-Cite
=============
Once you have written a document with labels, references and citations,
it can be nice to read it like a hypertext document. RefTeX has support
for that: ‘reftex-view-crossref’ (bound to ‘C-c &’),
‘reftex-mouse-view-crossref’ (bound to ‘S-mouse-2’), and
‘reftex-search-document’. A somewhat fancier interface with mouse
highlighting is provided (among other things) by Peter S. Galbraith’s
‘bib-cite.el’. There is some overlap in the functionalities of Bib-cite
and RefTeX. Bib-cite.el comes bundled with AUCTeX.
Bib-cite version 3.06 and later can be configured so that bib-cite’s
mouse functions use RefTeX for displaying references and citations.
This can be useful in particular when working with the LaTeX ‘xr’
package or with an explicit ‘thebibliography’ environment (rather than
BibTeX). Bib-cite cannot handle those, but RefTeX does. To make use of
this feature, try
(setq bib-cite-use-reftex-view-crossref t)
