How can I use Mendeley to manage my bibliography with Typst?

Hi, all,
I am Joachim and trying for the first time typst. I am writing a final term paper and i want to use Mendely as my biblio ressource. I use the pro functionality of typst. I could not find a way to use it. 25 years ago I did my PhD with LateX, but want to change now to typst.
Any ideas? Thanks, Joachim

Export your references in BibTeX format, upload the file to your project, and include it in the document with #bibliography("name-of-your-bib-file.bib"). You can then cite your sources with the cite function.

All works fine. Export of the bib file was possible, but …
I prefered the way over file section with “sync from Mendeley”.
Excellent!!! Thank You!
PS: As an old white man of academic research in the 90ies, I am ver curious about the new ways to store the research files and do citations via Mendeley…

Hello @Dr_Joachim, welcome :smiley:. If you’re using Typst Pro, then you might be able to synchronize with Mendeley.

Hi @Dr_Joachim, welcome and thank you for your question! I have changed your post’s title to bring it in line with the question guidelines and thus make it easier to find from the title:

Good titles are questions you would ask your friend about Typst.

I also moved it to Questions and added the citation tag, as it makes your question easier to find.
