Export

The export command is useful to work with other programs such as bibtex.

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, the linked documents and a ``bibtex`` file for
sharing with other people.

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.
