- Synopsis
- Parse, format and processing BibTeX files
- Description
This package allows parsing, formatting and processing of BibTeX files. BibTeX files are databases for literature for the natbib package of the LaTeX typesetting system.
The package contains two examples:
The first example demonstrates the BibTeX parser by generating a publication overview from a
.bib
file.The second example demonstrates the BibTeX generation by producing a large
.bib
file from the tar archive that cabal-install downloads to your local cabal directory.
Both examples will be build as stand-alone executable when running
cabal install -fbuildExamples bibtex
For the first example see the
publications
directory of this package. You can start the program and build an example document by runningmake pubs
Technically the program generates a list of custom
\nocite
commands for the LaTeX packagemultibib
. You can add the custom bibtex fieldsubtype
to BibTeX entries for more detailed categorization of an entry. See "publications/publications.bib" for examples.The second example can be executed using
make hackbib
The file
hackage.bib
is written to thehackage
subdirectory. Thehackage-bibtex
program reads an uncompressed tar archive from standard input and writes the result bibliography file to standard output.Note that
hackage.bib
exceeds some limits of standard BibTeX and LaTeX: There are currently much more than 5000 versions of packages, the maximum my BibTeX can handle at once. That is, you can use the bibliography file, but you cannot cite all entries with\nocite*
. If there are more than 26 uploads by the same author in a year, the BibTeX stylealpha
generates identifiers including curly braces which interacts badly with LaTeX's handling of them. If you reduce the Bibliography file to 5000 entries and try to generate an overview of all entries with\nocite
, thenpdflatex
hits its limits:TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=5000]
