From BibTeX to XML to HTML
The main goal of the BibTeX-XML-HTML Bibliography Project is
to transform a BibTeX bibliography into an HTML file
to facilitate the publication of the bibliography on the web.
However this project has many other aims.
The BibTeX-XML-HTML Project tools will first transform
your BibTeX file into an XML file.
The advantage of the XML format is that it is standardized,
platform independent and used universally.
Furthermore, it is easily edited and managed with XML tools
and translated into HTML (or text files) with the XSLT
stylesheet language.
In the next step, the tool will generate multiple HTML files out of the XML representation of your bibliography (all these files will be generated automatically with just one call):
The format of these HTML files is the same, which means that all available
additional functions are the same in each catalogue.
Each list in these HTML files is divided into two columns. The right column contains an alphabetical list of papers. For each entry in the right column, there is a citation key in standard citation format (e.g., [Richter, 2000]) in the left column. Under each citation key you find up to six clickable icons that provide additional functions for the paper:
In addition, the tool generates:
How does it work?
To use the full range of capabilities the tool offers,
you just have to mark the entries
in your BibTeX file with a thematic Id. This Id assigns
each entry to one (or more) thematic category.
Next, you declare these thematic categories in a separate XML file »definitions.xml« (this part is included as part of the tool package).
Are you ready to create your own online library from your BibTeX
files?
Simply follow the detailed description
on how to prepare your BibTeX files and handle the project files.
For a brief graphical overview over the complete translation process
there is a diagram available.
