Introduction
bib2x is a tool for parsing and processing BibTeX files.
bib2x is currently under development. The latest version is 0.4.0.
The current use cases are:
- Convert BibTeX-files to JSON;
- Convert BibTeX-files to a HTML list.
Examples
bib2x -i turing.bib -o turing.json -f json
Converts the BibTeX-file "turing.bib" into the JSON-file "turing.json" with the BibTeX entries.
bib2x -i turing.bib -o turing.html -f html
Converts the BibTeX-file "turing.bib" into a file named "turing.html" that contains a HTML list with the BibTeX entries.
Background
Being a somehow busy scientific coworker and a software guy, I wanted to render my publications for my web site.
For this purpose, I wrote BibPres, a commercial tool that uses JSON to store a publications list and JavaScript to render and interact with it.
bib2x is a rework of BibPres released as open source. Currently, only the parser is being ported as I want to change it so that it renders plain HTML, not a JSON file.
If you have any comments, ideas, or critics, please let me know.
