hmm .... how many books do you have? :) That's not how you should have asked it :-) You should have said yes first and then looked for someone to type the bib file if Hans really has too much books ;-) Or you could distribute the task ...
Really, we (=I) should move away from bibtex.
What I really want is a module that reads XML databases by using lua xpath for item extraction (inline in mkiv, with a standalone lua script in mkii), along with a script to convert legacy bibtex databases into XML databases.
I have Mods in mind for the database format.
we can discuss that in mode detail as it makes a nice example of using the xml features in mkiv if we have the database format decided, i can make a basic framework and you/others can define the bib styles of course this is mkiv only Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
