ads2html

This is a simple parser that will take a file of bibtex or a list of ADS URLs and return a list of Paper objects that have the bibliographic information in a convinent form for outputting to HTML.

Note: this requires python 3

Working with a file containing bibtex

You can provide a file containing the bibtex for each paper directly from ADS. You will need to add an additional field, subject, that will be used for subject classication sorting. This can be assigned anything you please.

import parser
papers = parser.parse_bibfile("papers.bib")

for p in papers:
    t, o, l = p.jstring()
    print(t, o, l)

Working with a file containing ADS links

Your text file should be of the form:

subject: ads-url-to-abstract

E.g.,

algorithm: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015ApJS..216...31Z

The paper ID will be obtained from the link and then the bibtex will be directly downloaded from ADS. The rest of the procedure works the same:

import parser

papers = parser.parse_urlfile("castro-papers.txt")

...

Example

The example write_papers_html.py will demonstrate how to generate an HTML table, sorted by subject, from a list of ADS URLs. This example is from the Castro website: https://boxlib-codes.github.io/Castro/papers.html
