## 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 If the cached HTML is out 
of date it gets reloaded automatically.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
 [bibtex file=”http://www.
citeulike.org/bibtex/user/username”]

This is tango’s bibliography maintained at bibsonomy.org
 [bibtex file=”http://bibsonomy.
org/bib/user/username?items=1000″]

## Installation

 1. download the zip file and extract the content of the zip file into a local folder
 2. local bibtex files should be copied in bib3html/data/ directory
 3. upload the folder bib3html into your wp-content/plugins/ directory
 4. if using a unix based operation system set chmod to an appropriate state (esp. /
    cache, /data)
 5. log in the wordpress administration page and access the Plugins menu
 6. activate bib3html

## FAQ

  How can I edit tango’s bibtex files?

If your file is local to the blog installation, you have two options:
 – via FTP
client with text editor – via WordPress Admin interface: Manage->Files->Other Files—
use wp-content/plugins/bib3html/data/mybibfile.bib as a path

Alternatively, you can maintain your updated biblilography by using systems such
as citeulike.org and bibsonomy.org;
 specify the bib file using as a URL (e.g., 
in citeulike, you should use http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/username)

  How are the entries sorted?

Since version 0.9, the entries are sorted by year starting from the most
 recent;
in future revision, I plan to make this configurable by the user

  How can I personlize the HTML rendering?

The HTML rendering is isolated in a template file called bibentry-html.tpl.
 Just
change it.
