taln2x 1.0.5

A command-line application to export (TALN-like) conference proceedings to various formats (namely pdf, hal, aclanthology, dblp)

Description

taln2x is a Python program which converts a set of scientific articles to a ready-to-ingest dataset for open archives. Currently supported output formats include pdf (for printable full proceedings), TALN archives, HAL, ACL anthology, and DBLP.

User interface

taln2x is a command-line tool which expects as input a directory containing specific pieces of information (gathered either manually or else via an abstract management system such as easychair) and relying on a given structure (see documentation), and outputs a directory whose internal structure depends on the target online archive.

Installation

The recommanded way to install taln2x is to use the pip package manager (within a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with installed libraries):

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install taln2x

Basic usage

taln2x COMMAND [OPTIONS]

Where COMMAND is either new (to set up an input directory containing the expected structure and ready-to-fill config files), build (to compile proceedings in a given target format according to the config file, see documentation), clean (to remove proceedings from output directory), or list (to check which articles can be found on the HAL open archive).

For a full list of options, invoke:

taln2x --help
