Error when exporting to tex from orgmode
reddit / emacs

I am using orgmode to author a paper for the first time. Citation is
giving me a lot headaches. `main.bib` contains the references in
bibtex format. [paper.org](https://paper.org) contains citations like
this `Lecun et al.cite:lecun1998`

    $ ls -1
    paper.org
    main.bib

At the very end of [paper.org](https://paper.org)

    #+BIBLIOGRAPHY: main plain
    #+CITE_EXPORT: biblatex
    #+print_bibliography:

When I do  `C-c C-e l l`  I get the following error. When I use basic,
the export successfully happens but there are no citations present in
the tex file produced. `cite:lecun1998` remain as such instead of
`\cite{lecun1998}` as expected I suppose with `basic` setting.

    org-cite-store-export-processor: Unknown processor biblatex

it used to work in emacs 27.1 but in the latest version it is not
working.

    GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.24.20, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2022-09-16

You need to explicitly `(require 'oc-biblate)` if you are using stable
version of Org. It will no lonfer be needed in the next release.

Note that `cite:lecun1998` is not a valid org-cite citation, its
minimal org-cite version would be `[cite:@lecun1998]`. See the
[manual](https://orgmode.org/manual/Citations.html#Citations) for
details.

Yes, and to make it more comfortable there are packages that handle
those for you. I use Citar, but there are for instance also `helm-
biblatex` and `ivy-biblatex` (iirc)

I am using org-ref. It used to work in other machine :)

The problem is that none of the keywords

>\#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: main plain
\#+CITE\_EXPORT: biblatex
\#+print\_bibliography:

you are using at the end of your paper are for `org-ref` -- you are
mixing `org-cite` keywords and `org-ref` (actually, legacy `org-ref
v2`) citations.

Weirdly it worked without org-cite. it is still working in fact.
