Export

The export command is useful to work with other programs by exporting to other formats (such as BibTeX).

Examples

Some examples of its usage are:

Export one of the documents matching the author with Einstein to BibTeX

papis export --format bibtex 'author : einstein'

or export all of them

papis export --format bibtex --all 'author : einstein'

Export all documents to BibTeX and save them into a lib.bib file

papis export --all --format bibtex --out lib.bib

Export a folder of one of the documents matching the word krebs into a folder named interesting-document

  papis export --folder --out interesting-document krebs

this will create the folder ``interesting-document`` containing the
``info.yaml`` file and the linked documents.

Note

Every document exported also comes with the key _papis_local_folder associated that points to the full local folder path where the document is stored in the file system. This is done for the convenience of third party apps.
