Examples

You can find a raw example in doc/example/index.html. This example is generated with:

pybib2web --config doc/example/config.yml --output doc/example doc/example/db.bib

Two pages that use pybib2web with styling:

• Webpage of the Software and Computational Systems Lab (SoSy-Lab) at LMU Munich uses full pybib2web directory structure with individual pages for author, keywords, etc..
• Personal webpage of Thomas Lemberger uses --singlepage to display a single page with all entries.

Requirements

• python 3.8

Optional requirements

detex is required to detexify BibTeX-entries that use LaTeX commands, e.g., \sc{} or ~. If detex is not installed, these LaTeX commands will be visible in the HTML output.

Installation

After cloning the repository, run pip install -e . to install pybib2web and its dependencies.

Usage

Basic usage:

pybib2web BIBFILE(s)

This will write a directory of HTML files to bib/. The index of these files is bib/index.html.

This will, among other things, create an individual publication page for all authors that appear in the given BibTeX files. Often, one only wants to create these author-centered pages for individual authors- for example for oneself or a specific group of people. pybib2web can be configured through a config file to do this:

pybib2web --config CONFIG_YAML BIBFILE(s)
