All releases of bib2xhtml
Release Notes: This version provides a new -R option that allows you to number entries from bottom to top, adds a -B option that allows you to specify the name or path of the BibTeX executable, creates valid XHTML blockquote elements when producing abstracts, and removes an obsolete (and soon to be deprecated) dependency on ctime.pl.
Release Notes: This version adds an option to highlight a specified author name, improves chronological ordering, adds support for \href appearing in bibliography entries, and fixes a few bugs. In addition, in response to an increased number of invocation options, the project's home page now supports the interactive display of formatting examples.
Release Notes: A new "paragraph" option allows the program to create plain HTML paragraphs, without any bullets or numbering.
Release Notes: Changes were made to make the generated documents pass XHTML validators. Specifically, this version drops the deprecated compact dl attribute and escapes XML-special characters appearing in URLs and DOIs. In addition, the program will operate better when the PDF::API2 module is not available and will correctly handle cross references containing tildes.
Release Notes: This version adds an option for specifying how extended file information is displayed. This can be used for including PDF file icons or providing more descriptive names. In addition, it provides support for counting and listing the number of pages in PDF documents, and documents a previously undocumented option for specifying the file path to URL mappings.
Release Notes: Changes in this version prevent tildes in URLs from being converted into spaces. Support for some missing Czech characters has been added. The handling of the degree symbol and the \dots markup command has been corrected.
Release Notes: The lists that bib2xhtml now generates contain CSS hooks. This provides extreme flexibility in the presentation of the bibliography. This release also improves the handling of ampersands embedded in URLs, and fixes the handling of the circumflex character.
Release Notes: This release adds an option to display the original bibtex key together with each entry's label in the generated file. It supports the \url{} LaTeX command, which is converted to a hypertext link. It fixes a number of small HTML and style bugs.
Release Notes: This release adds support for a DOI (digital object identifier) bibliography field in the bibliography entries. The DOI will appear in the XHTML bibliography in its human-readable form, hyperlinked through dx.doi.org.
Release Notes: A new -u option converts LaTeX special characters into the corresponding Unicode characters and outputs valid XML encoded with UTF-8. The documents produced by this option may be easier to parse and validate with some XML parsers. Output duplication caused by unflushed buffers after a fork was corrected. http-equiv and Generator tags were added, and the deprecated -3 option (output HTML-3 character entities) was removed. Many HTML entities are now encoded by their symbolic name rather than numerically.
