[TriLUG] LaTeX gurus: is it possible to ignore lines on 'include'

Thanks for all the informative replies.  Does anyone know if bibtex (or 
something similar) could be useful to keep track of not only references 
but PDF files as well?  I have a ton (quantity ton, not weight ton ... 
:) ) of articles I'd like to 'link' to my references, search through, 
then find what PDFs I might want to read.  Any ideas?  I've seen the 
package Librarian on the bioinformatics website, but that's not 
necessarily what I had in mind: a) it's web-based and b) the GUI isn't 
what I was looking for in terms of displaying/updating information.

I mostly use PubMed, and the easiest way for me to do things so far has 
been to search PubMed (it'll do ISI WOS, and many other online 
databases) within EndNote and save as a bibtex file.  But ... I might 
have to play around with non-EndNote software in the near future!

BTW, what do you guys use for LaTeX editors?  I've been pretty 
satisfied with TeXShop, but I'd like to get a feel for what others use.

Thanks,
Doug
