Browse¶
This command will try its best to find a source in the internet for the document at hand.
Of course if the document has an url key in its info file, it will use this url to open it in a browser. Also if it has a doc_url key, or a doi, it will try to compose urls out of these to open it.
If none of the above work, then it will try to use a search engine with the
document’s information (using the browse-query-format
). You can select
which search engine you want to use using the search-engine
setting.
It uses the configuration option browse-key
to form an url
according to which key is given in the document. You can bypass this option
using the -k flag issuing the command.
papis browse -k doi einstein
This will form an url through the DOI of the document.
papis browse -k isbn
This will form an url through the ISBN of the document using isbnsearch.org.
papis browse -k ads
This will form an url using the gread ADS service and there you can check for similar papers, citations, references and much more. Please note that for this to work the document should have a DOI attached to it.
papis browse -k whatever
This will consider the key whatever
of the document
to be a valid url, I guess at this point you’ll know what you’re doing.
papis browse -k search-engine
This is the default, it will do a search-engine search with the data of your paper and hopefully you’ll find it.
