bibhtmlize is a Ruby wrapper around a rather deviously hacked BibTeX style that generates HTML rather than TeX output.
It reads a BibTeX database file, and produces a sorted list of entries on stdout.
Most common use case, for inclusion in a larger web page:
bibhtmlize foo.bib > foo.partial.html
To add <html><head> etc. and produce a very basic but technically complete HTML document:
bibhtmlize --wrap foo.bib > foo.html
The default BibTeX style classifies entries per publication type (journals, conferences, workshops, etc) as is usual for someone's list of scientific publications. That can be changed by using a different style, e.g. the original one from Bibhtml:
bibhtmlize --style plainhtml foo.bib > foo.html
See also bibhtmlize --help.
- Ruby and BibTeX (duh)
- sed
- the cri gem
I shamelessly took ideas and code from a couple other cool projects:
- Norman Gray's Bibhtml for making BibTeX output HTML rather than
.bbl, and - Nicolas Markey's
publistfor classifying publications by type.
On top of that I tweaked a few things to match my bibliography bookkeeping conventions and metadata. I won't pretend it's flexible or useable by anyone else than me, but hey… it's a start.
