Hi Mark, 

Sure, here you go. Can you put me on the users list? That would be great. 

Best -- Michiel 


This is great stuff! Thanks for contributing this back!

Mark Moll is the current maintainer and I'm also CCing the current
user list in case others will find this helpful. You and Mark shoudl
talk about the possibility of incorporating this into the head repo
for bib2html.

Thank you!

We are building our new group website, currently at http://tudelft-dct-ppe.com, for which we have used (and adapted, to be honest) your bib2html software. I think you have done us a great service by releasing the code, you have saved us tons of time and made the project all the more enjoyable.

The way we intend to do it is to let one of the PhD-students pull all the group papers from Web of Science straight to BibTeX, say every trimester, and join that with a small bibtex-file for papers in press, and then have the student run a single command to update the database, the publication section and all other personal publication lists on the website. It had to be a less-than-5-minute job.  That was easier said that done, but somehow we managed. Apart from the pages that your script makes,  we needed to have a list of paper for each individual author, and a list of recent papers for each individual author, for inclusion in personal pages using  statements. So, whenever the pages of the group are updated, so are those of the group members. I never like to see pages that list as "recent publications" stuff from 3 years ago, so we avoid that now, methinks.

This change is already in the CVS repository. The only difference between the repository and the latest official release is this:

Glad you like them! If you have any questions about bib2html, there's
a user's list and Mark Moll is now the primary developer.

Thanks, Patrick. I think I figured out what the problem is.

It seems that "." in "cs.uol" caused the problem in bib2html, and changing 
it to "-" prevented the trouble.

Hi Jason,

I'm glad you like the tool. Mark Moll has now taken over maintenance
of this, so maybe the two of you should talk about this fix.

Thank you Matthijs!

Mark Moll is now the bib2html maintainer, so I'll leave it to him to
incorporate your patch.

Please use the bib2html-users list for questions

It appears that the saxon version you have doesn't like some of the
options. Can you get the actual saxon command line that is running?
Add a "debug: 1" to your conf file to get extra debug output.

Hmm. I haven't run into that error before.

Can you try getting the latest version from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bib2html/
and see if you still have the problem?
