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. The problem is, I keep getting side-tracked by other stuff like luatex and metapost... Best wishes, Taco
