bib2wiki

bib2wiki is a perl script to generate a template to cite scientific references on this very website from its $\mathrm{B{\scriptstyle{IB}}\TeX}$ entry.

This is, for instance, an old paper of ours: Electrostatic control of quantum dot entanglement induced by coupling to external reservoirs. E. del Valle, F. P. Laussy and C. Tejedor in Europhys. Lett. 80:57001 (2007).

The rationale is explained in this blog post and examples of its use are in this other blog post. Undefined references can be fixed with keys2wiki.

It is based on BibTeX::Parser.

Usage

# Usage: 
# To print one key:

#
# To print several keys:
#   bib2wiki -keys=laussy04a,laussy05a,laussy06a
#
# To print everything:
#   bib2wiki -keys=all
