A BibTex Cite Plugin

Description

​BibTex is for formatting lists of bibliographic references.

The aim of this plugin is to provide the ability to cite from common bibtex (*.bib) files.

The plugin can use bibtex files out of

• a repository (svn, git, mercurial)
• a wiki page
• a Wiki-Attachment
• or an external website.

If a wiki page called BibTex exists, the page is loaded automatically by BibRef() and used as standard library.

Make sure to put bibtex entries into a Code Block when you use them from a wiki page.

The command structure is inspired by the reference and bibtex system in latex. This should make it easy to make this plugin compatible with existing trac - latex plugins.

Usage

Configuration Settings

You can add a bibtext config section in trac.ini. In this section you can change the heading of the References and you can add other sources that should always be loaded:

[bibtex]
heading= Literatur # default: References
auto= source:mybib.bib, wiki:BibTexBlub # default: wiki:BibTex

Load Bibtex Entries

The way how to invoke a bibtex file has substantially changed:

[[BibAdd(source:path/to/file[@rev])]]    # add a file from source 
[[BibAdd(attachment:[wikipage/]file)]]   # add a file from a wiki attachment        
[[BibAdd(wiki:page)]]                    # use a wiki page 
[[BibAdd(http://www.external.page.com)]] # use a bibtex file from everywhere

Examples

[[BibAdd(source:bib.bib@2)]]
[[BibAdd(source:trunk/bib.bib@latest)]]
[[BibAdd(source:bib.bib)]]
[[BibAdd(attachment:fiol.bib)]]
[[BibAdd(attachment:test/lala.bib)]]
[[BibAdd(http://www.external.page.com/bibtex.bib)]]

Cite an article

Macros

[[BibCite(key)]]
[[BibCite(key,page)]]

Wiki Syntax

cite:key
cite:key:page

Add an article without citation

[[BibNoCite(key)]]

Inserting the bibliography

This renders all cited entries:

[[BibRef]]

This renders all loaded entries:

[[BibFullRef]]

If you also want to render all entries from the special page 'BibTex' you can write

[[BibFullRef(auto=true)]]

URL/DOI Fields

url and doi fields in BibTex files will be rendered to links if possible.

Full Example

= Welcome =

[[BibAdd(source:mybib.bib)]]

I am citing here [[BibCite(small)]] and someone said "hello world" [[BibCite(wiki,123)]] and 
cite:small:123-124 is important. finally the BibTex entry with the key 'big' is not cited but 
will appear in the references because of tho '!BibNoCite' macro. 

[[BibNoCite(big)]]
[[BibRef()]]

This looks rendered like that:
