Installing the sources

I assume you get a package from the above mentionned ftp site. It is named bibtex2html-X.XX.extension where X.XX denotes a version number. The extension can be either .zip or .tar.gz. Thus running

% unzip -d   bibtex2html-X.XX.zip

or

% tar -xvzf bibtex2html-X.XX.tar.gz

should create a directory named bibtex2html-X.XX containing the sources and some other files.

Compiling bibtex2html

Go into the previous directory

% cd bibtex2html-X.XX

and compile with make

% make

Notice that there exists a preprocessor macro ICONSDIR that is used to define the default path for the icon files. One may want to change it to make it correspond to one's configuration. To do that, you will have to edit the Makefile.

Generating html pages from BibTeX files

According that you have installed (copied) bibtex2html in some place listed in your ${PATH} variable, or that you are using the full path towards bibtex2html, you can process your .bib files. While parsing its arguments, bibtex2html considers that all arguments that do not match a command line option (see section 7.1) are input files. The following command will then create a bundle of html files from the BibTeX files given in the command line.

% bibtex2html file1.bib file2.bib ... -force

You may navigate through them using the index.html as starting point. Notice the -force option, that will create the needed subdirectories (see section 3) if they do not exist.

You may also want to use icons as links towards distant files or pages. The simpliest way to do that is

% bibtex2html file1.bib file2.bib ... -force -copy-icons

The option -copy-icons will copy the icon files from the distribution (according that the preprocessor macro ICONSDIR has been set properly) to the local subdirectory ./Icons/, that will be created if necessary thanks to the -force option.

If the icons already exist locally (in the subdirectory ./Icons/), specifying the -icons option is then sufficient, i.e.

% bibtex2html file1.bib file2.bib ... -force -icons

Moving the html pages

According you like the generated output, you may want to move it at some more convenient place on your web server storage space. Thus, if you do not use icons

% cp -rp index.html Author Biblio Category Keyword Year DEST/

will copy all the output file in the DEST directory. If you use icons, you just have to add the Icons into the above command.

• the current directory, namely './', it only concerns the index file,
• and subdirectories: ./Author/, ./Biblio/, ./Category/, ./Keyword/, ./Year/;
• an other subdirectory ./Icons/ may be needed if icons are desired to indicate links towards urls or documents.

• I use the computational geometry bibliography, geom.bib, for testing. The version I got contains 13824 BibTeX items, there are 8016 different names among 27487 authors and 1851 different keywords among 8807 keywords. Due to the size of the generated bundle of files, I can not keep it as an output example. The BibTeX file can retrieved by anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.cs.usask.ca/pub/geometry/ or use some web search interface

author

The name(s) of the author(s), in the format described in the L^AT_EX book.

chapter

A chapter (or section or whatever) number.

crossref

The database key of the entry being cross referenced. not implemented yet.

edition

The edition of a book (for example, Second). This should be an ordinal, and should have the first letter capitalized, as shown here; the standard styles convert to lower case when necessary.

institution

The sponsoring institution of a technical report.

journal

A journal name. Abbreviations are provided for many journals; see the Local Guide.

Any additional information that can help the reader. The first word should be capitalized.

number

organization

The organization that sponsors a conference or that publishes a manual.

pages

One or more page numbers or range of numbers, such as 42--111 or 7,41,73--97 or 43+ (the `+' in this last example indicates pages following that don't form a simple range).
