bib2xhtml is a program that converts BibTeX files into HTML
(specifically XHTML 1.0). The conversion is mostly done by
specialized BibTeX style files, derived from a converted
bibliography style template. This ensures that the original
BibTeX styles are faithfully reproduced. Some postprocessing is
performed by Perl code.
This is an update of the bib2html program written by David Hull
in 1996 and maintained by him until 1998. I have been a happy
user of the program since 1995, using the program to keep my
publication list up to date, and, lately, to generate the
on-line bibliography list for my book Code Reading: The Open
Source Perspective (Addison-Wesley 2003). After 1998 no other
changes were made to the program, and I failed to locate an
active program home page. Since there were a number of changes
I needed to bring the program up to date with evolving web
standards, I decided to adopt bib2html for maintenance,
evolution, and further distribution. The first new public
release made in 2004, features support for XHTML 1.0.
