Description

BibTeXConv is a BibTeX file converter which allows to export BibTeX entries to other formats, including customly defined text output. Furthermore, it provides the possibility to check URLs (including MD5, size and MIME type computations) and to verify ISBN and ISSN numbers.

Examples

Have a look into /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ (or corresponding path of your system) for example export scripts. The export scripts contain the commands which are read by bibtexconv from standard input.

• Check URLs of all entries in /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib, add MD5, size and MIME type items and write the results to UpdatedReferences.bib:

  bibtexconv /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib -export-to-bibtex=UpdatedReferences.bib -check-urls -only-check-new-urls -non-interactive

• Use the export script /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/web-example.export to export references from /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib to MyPublications.html as XHTML 1.1.

  bibtexconv /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib </usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/web-example.export >MyPublications.html

• Use export script /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/text-example.export to export references from /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib to MyPublications.txt as plain text:

  bibtexconv /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib </usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/text-example.export >MyPublications.txt

• Convert all references in /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib to XML references to be includable in IETF Internet Drafts. For each reference, an own file is generated, named with the prefix "reference." (for example: reference.Globecom2010.xml for the reference Globecom2010):

  bibtexconv /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib -non-interactive -export-to-separate-xmls=reference.

• Convert all references in /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib to BibTeX references. For each reference, an own file is generated, named with the prefix "" (here: no prefix; for example: Globecom2010.bib for the reference Globecom2010):

  bibtexconv /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib -non-interactive -export-to-separate-bibtexs=

• Download all references in /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib providing an "url" entry to directory Downloads. If the corresponding file is already existing, a download is skipped. That is, the command can be run regularly to maintain an up-to-date publications directory. Updated references (including length, type and MD5 sum of the downloaded entries) are written to UpdatedReferences.bib:

  bibtexconv /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib -export-to-bibtex=UpdatedReferences.bib -check-urls -store-downloads=Downloads -non-interactive

• Use export script /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/odt-example.export to export references from /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib to MyPublications.odt as OpenDocument Text (ODT), according to the template ODT file /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ODT-Template.odt:

  bibtexconv-odt /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ODT-Template.odt MyPublications.odt /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/odt-example.export
