[Refdb-users] ANN: refdb-0.9.4-pre1 available for testing

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi all,

I've fixed the worst bugs reported after releasing 0.9.3 and added a
couple of features requested lately. See below for the details. I ask
everyone with a little spare time to test drive this prerelease. The
new archive can be found right here:

http://refdb.sourceforge.net/pre/refdb-0.9.4-pre1.tar.gz

BTW there's also a link on the download page of the RefDB homepage
which always points to the latest prerelease, if there is one.

regards,
Markus

Bugfixes

- fixed a segfault related to log files

- fixed a couple of issues in the risx backend

- fixed missing parentheses around subsequent multiple citations

- fixed the "xsl:call-template : template component.separator not
  found" bug in the DocBook XSLT fo driver file

- fixed some more attribute case mismatches in the DocBook XSLT driver
  files so the output from DocBook XML docs finally seems ok

- fixed the omission of HEAR in risx.dtd

- fixed handling of CASE references

- fixed missing entity replacement in journal names

Improvements

- added xhtml support for DocBook XML documents

- extended the html backend for the getref command to allow xhtml export

- added support for NEWS to the bib styles

- added support for multiple middle names in risx.dtd and in refdbd

- added support for arbitrary starting number of numbered
  bibliographies

- added a switch to runbib in order to skip ID extraction

Hi Markus,

I finally had some time for testing.

This works fine now

I could try this using refdbib. The implementation in refdbib is fine,
but I have problems with runbib. See below.


 >> - added a switch to runbib in order to skip ID extraction
Similar, problem with runbib.

Here is the error:
runbib -d mainbib -I -N 8 -S "Art.Rapact.Mbfr." -t db31x collab.xml
server error: style spec error0 reference(s) formatted, 0 failed

mv: cannot stat `.dsl': No such file or directory
make: *** [collab.bib.xml] Error 1

and it creates two files
8.bib.sgml.err
-D.dsl

Note: I use XML, not SGML, strange, isn't it ?
My original modified version of runbib still works (for XML).
If you want to check against it, look at

Thanks for any pointers or hints,
Marc

Hi Marc,

I believe this is caused by a subtle typo in the script that screws up
the parsing of the command line parameters. Please try replacing the
following line in runbib:

while getopts ":d:hi:I:N:S:t:u:w:" opt; do

with this one (notice the missing colon after "I"):

while getopts ":d:hi:IN:S:t:u:w:" opt; do

regards,
Markus
