Plugin / bib3html

Description

If you need to maintain a bibliography in bibtex format and also write a Web page to publish the list of your publications, then bib3html is the right solution for you.

bib3html is a refined fork from bib2html written by tango. It enables to add bibtex entries formatted as HTML in wordpress pages and posts. The input data is a local or remote bibtex file and the output is HTML.
The entries are formatted by default using the IEEE style. Bibtex source file and a link to the publication are also available from the HTML.
In order to reduce site loading the generated HTML Contents are cached in the cache directory for a defined time. If the cached HTML is out of date it gets reloaded automatically.

Features:

• input data directly from the bibtex text file
• source files can be URL
• automatic HTML generation
• template and cache usage
• easy inclusion in wordpress pages/posts by means of a dedicated tag
• possibility of filtering the bibtex entries based on their type (e.g. “allow”, “deny”)
• possibility to access the single bibtex entry source code to enable copy&paste (toggle-enabled visualization)
• expose URL of each document (if network-reachable)
• possibility of editing the bibtex file directly from the wordpress administration page

The bib3html plugin has been developed and tested under WordPress 3.2.0

A brief Markdown Example

When writing a page/post, you can use the tag [bibtex] as follows:

This is tango’s whole list of publications: [bibtex file=”mypub.bib”]
If you want to filter the type of bibtex items, you can use one of the attributes allow, deny and key as follows:

This is tango’s list of journal articles:
[bibtex file=”mypub.bib” allow=”article”]

This is tango’s list of conference articles and technical reports:
[bibtex file=”mypub.bib” allow=”inproceedings,techreport”]

This is the rest of tango’s publications:
[bibtex file=”mypub.bib” deny=”article,inproceedings,techreport”]

This is tango’s latest conference paper:
[bibtex file=”mypub.bib” key=”CGW2006″]

This is tango’s bibliography maintained at citeulike.org
