SYNOPSIS

bibtex2html [options] <filename>

DESCRIPTION

bibtex2html is a translator which reads a bibliography file and outputs two HTML documents that contain respectively the cited bibliography in a nice presentation, and the original BibTeX file augmented with several transparent HTML links to allow easy navigation.

OPTIONS

General aspect of the HTML document

-t string, --title string

specify the title of the HTML file (default is the file name).

--header string

give an additional header for the HTML document.

--footer string

give an additional footer for the HTML document.

-s string, --style string

use BibTeX style string (plain, alpha, etc.). Default style is plain.

-noabstract, --no-abstract

do not print the abstracts (if any).

-nokeywords, --no-keywords

do not print the keywords (if any).

-both, --both

produce both pages with and without abstracts. If the BibTeX file is foo.bib then the two pages will be respectively foo.html and foo_abstracts.html (The suffix may be different, see option --suffix). Links are inserted from the page without abstracts to the page with abstracts.

-nokeys, --no-keys

do not print the cite keys.

-use-keys, --use-keys

use the cite keys from the BibTeX input file (and not the ones generated by the BibTeX style file).

-rawurl, --raw-url

print URLs instead of files' types.

-heveaurl, --hevea-url

interpret the macro \url as HeVeA's one, i.e. with two arguments, the first one being the url and the second one the text to print. The default behavior is to interpret the macro \url as the one from the package url, which has only one argument (the url itself).

-f field, --field field

add a web link for that BibTeX field.

-nf field string, --named-field field string

similar to -f but specifies the way to display the link (e.g. -nf springer "At Springer's").

-note field, --note field

declare that a field must be treated like the abstract field, i.e. is an annotation to be displayed as a text paragraph below the entry.

-multiple, --multiple

make a separate web page for each entry. Beware: this option produces as many HTML files as BibTeX entries!

-single, --single

produce a single document, inserting each BibTeX entry (the input) right after its BibTeX output.

-bg color, --background color

set the background color of the HTML file (default is none).

-css file, --style-sheet file set a style sheet file for the HTML document (default is none).

-charset c, --charset c

specify the charset to use in the META tag of generated html files. The default is the output of the command locale charmap, or if this doesn't work, ISO-8859-1.

-dl, --dl

use HTML DL lists instead of HTML tables to format entries.

-unicode, --unicode

use Unicode entities for some macros, such as ⊨ for \models, etc.

-html-entities, --html-entities

use HTML entities for some macros, such as ≈ for \approx, etc.

Controlling the translation

-m file, --macros-from file

read the LATEX macros in the given file. Note: bibtex2html does not handle macros arguments; arguments are simply discarded.

-noexpand, --no-expand do not expand the abbreviation strings, leave them in the output file.

Selecting the entries

-citefile filename, --citefile filename

Select only keys appearing in filename. To be used manually or in conjonction with bib2bib.

-e key, --exclude key

exclude an particular entry.

Sorting the entries

-d, --sort-by-date

sort by date.

-a, --sort-as-bibtex

sort as BibTeX (usually by author).

-u, --unsorted

unsorted i.e. same order as in .bib file (default).

-r, --reverse-sort

reverse the sort.

--revkeys

number entries in reverse order (i.e. from n to 1 in plain style).

Miscellaneous options

--print-keys

do not produce any HTML documents but write to stdout the sorted list of BibTeX keys (one key per line).

-nodoc, --nodoc

do not produce a full HTML document but only its body (useful to merge the HTML bibliography in a bigger HTML document).

-nobibsource, --nobibsource

do not produce the _bib.html file. In that case, no BibTeX entry links are inserted in the HTML file.

-suffix string, --suffix string

give an alternate suffix string for both HTML files and links (default is .html).

-fsuffix string, --file-suffix string

give an alternate suffix string for HTML files (default is .html).

-lsuffix string, --link-suffix string

give an alternate suffix string for HTML links (default is .html).

-o file, --output file

specifies the output file. If file is -, then the standard output is selected.

-c command, --command command

specify the BibTeX command (default is bibtex -min-crossrefs=1000). May be useful for example if you need to specify the full path of the bibtex command.

-i, --ignore-errors

ignore BibTeX errors.

-q, --quiet

be quiet.

-w, --warn-error

stop at the first warning.

-h, --help

print a short usage and exit.

-v, --version

print the version and exit.

-noheader, --no-header

do not insert the bibtex2html command in the HTML document (default is to insert it as a comment at the beginning).
