This little program uses pandoc to output JSON for bibtex inputs. Next we transform this to html and org markdown (or is it markup?).

Features:

• Generate simple output from bibtex (.bib)
• Use keyword filter

Bibtex is an extremely useful format for generating literature references. This little program takes the JSON output generated by pandoc-citeproc, e.g.

pandoc-citeproc --bib2json test/data/biblio.bib | ./bin/bibtex-conv -k bio1

or the later

pandoc --to=csljson test/data/biblio.bib | racket ./bin/bibtex-conv

and print it out in useful ways with racket-bibtex. Use it to generate specialised HTML references on grant proposals, biosketches, home pages etc. In earlier days I used the Ruby bibtex parser, but with pandoc there is no longer a need for that. E.g.

pandoc-citeproc --bib2json biblio.bib|bibtex-conv --keyword group

generates Org-mode style output

which can be turned into HTML via emacs org-mode. To generate LaTeX directly it is also possible to use the –latex switch

pandoc-citeproc --bib2json biblio.bib|bibtex-conv --keyword group --latex

Note that both bibtool and biber have support for manipulating bib databases. Check those first before attempting to roll your own.

Dependencies:

1. racket
2. pandoc
3. pandoc-citeproc

guix shell -C racket ghc-pandoc ghc-citeproc
pandoc --to=csljson test.bib

Generate my CV in org markdown:

pandoc --to=csljson pjotr.bib | racket ./bin/bibtex-conv -k cv

LaTeX output:

pandoc --to=csljson pjotr.bib | racket ./bin/bibtex-conv -k cv -l
