Description:

pelicanbib 0.2.7

Pelican Bib
Organize your scientific publications with BibTeX in Pelican. The package is based on Vlad's pelican-bibtex. The current version is backward compatible and can replace the pelican-bibtex install of your current project.
Installation
pelican_bib requires pybtex.
pip install pybtex

Using pip
pip install pelican-bib

Add the plugin to the PLUGINS variable:
PLUGINS = ['pelican_bib', ...]

As a Submodule
In your Pelican site:
$ mkdir plugins
$ git submodule add https://github.com/scheunemann/pelican-bib plugins/pelican-bib

And Pelican config:
PLUGIN_PATHS = ['plugins/pelican_bib', ...]
PLUGINS = ['pelican_bib', ...]

How to Use
This plugin reads a user-specified BibTeX file and populates the context with
a list of publications, ready to be used in your Jinja2 template.
Configuration is simply:
PUBLICATIONS_SRC = 'content/pubs.bib'

If the file is present and readable, you will be able to find the publications
variable in all templates. It is a list of dictionaries with the following keys:


key is the BibTeX key (identifier) of the entry.


year is the year when the entry was published. Useful for grouping by year in templates using Jinja's groupby


text is the HTML formatted entry, generated by pybtex.


bibtex is a string containing BibTeX code for the entry, useful to make it
available to people who want to cite your work.


pdf, slides, poster: in your BibTeX file, you can add these special fields,
for example:
@article{
foo13
...
pdf = {/papers/foo13.pdf},
slides = {/slides/foo13.html}
}



This plugin will take all defined fields and make them available in the template.
If a field is not defined, the tuple field will be None. Furthermore, the
fields are stripped from the generated BibTeX (found in the bibtex field).
Split into lists of publications
You can add an extra field to each bibtex entry. This value of that field is a comma seperated list.
These values will become the keys of a list publications_lists containing the associated bibtex entries in your template.
For example, if you want to associate an entry with two different tags (foo-tag, bar-tag),
you add the following field to the bib entry:
@article{
foo13
...
tags = {foo-tag, bar-tag}
}

In your pelicanconf.py you'll need to set:
PUBLICATIONS_SPLIT_BY = 'tags'

In your template you can then access these lists with the variables publications_lists['foo-tag'] and publications_lists['bar-tag'].
If you want to assign all untagged entries (i.e. entries without
the field defined in PUBLICATIONS_SPLIT_BY) to a tag named others, set:
PUBLICATIONS_UNTAGGED_TITLE = 'others'

Page with a list of publications
To generate a page displaying the publications with one of the methods below, you need to add a template file and a page.
1.) place the template file as publications.html in content/templates and add it as direct template to your webpage. Add in your pelicanconf.py:
THEME_TEMPLATES_OVERRIDES.append('templates')

2.) Create a page in your page folder, e.g., 'content/pages/publications.rst' with the following metadata in your content:
Publications
############

:template: publications

Example templates
Example content of the publications.html template:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}Publications{% endblock %}
{% block content %}

<script type="text/javascript">
function disp(s) {
var win;
var doc;
win = window.open("", "WINDOWID");
doc = win.document;
doc.open("text/plain");
doc.write("<pre>" + s + "</pre>");
doc.close();
}
</script>
<section id="content" class="body">
<h1 class="entry-title">Publications</h1>
<ul>
{% for publication in publications %}
<li id="{{ publication.key }}">{{ publication.text }}
[&nbsp;<a href="javascript:disp('{{ publication.bibtex|replace('\n', '\\n')|escape|forceescape }}');">Bibtex</a>&nbsp;]
{% for label, target in [('PDF', publication.pdf), ('Slides', publication.slides), ('Poster', publication.poster)] %}
{{ "[&nbsp;<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>&nbsp;]" % (target, label) if target }}
{% endfor %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</section>
{% endblock %}

(Note: that we are escaping the BibTeX string twice in order to properly display it.
This can be achieved using forceescape)
Sorting entries
The entries can be sorted by one of the attributes, for example, if you want to sort the entries by date, your unordered list would look like the following:
...
<ul>
{% for publication in publications|sort(True, attribute='year') %}
<li id="{{ publication.key }}">{{ publication.text }}
[&nbsp;<a href="javascript:disp('{{ publication.bibtex|replace('\n', '\\n')|escape|forceescape }}');">Bibtex</a>&nbsp;]
{% for label, target in [('PDF', publication.pdf), ('Slides', publication.slides), ('Poster', publication.poster)] %}
{{ "[&nbsp;<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>&nbsp;]" % (target, label) if target }}
{% endfor %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
...

The sort builtin filter was added in version 2.6 of jinja2.
Grouping entries
To group entries by year,
...
<ul>
{% for grouper, publist in publications|groupby('year')|reverse %}
<li> {{grouper}}
<ul>
{% for publication in publist %}
<li id="{{ publication.key }}">{{ publication.text }}
[&nbsp;<a href="javascript:disp('{{ publication.bibtex|replace('\n', '\\n')|escape|forceescape }}');">Bibtex</a>&nbsp;]
{% for label, target in [('PDF', publication.pdf), ('Slides', publication.slides), ('Poster', publication.poster)] %}
{{ "[&nbsp;<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>&nbsp;]" % (target, label) if target }}
{% endfor %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
...

Using lists of publications
As described above, lists of publications are stored in publications_lists.
You can replace publications from the previous example with publications_lists['foo-tag'] to only show the publications with tagged with foo-tag.
You can also iterate over the map and present all bib entries of each list.
The section of the previous example changes to:
...
<section id="content" class="body">
<h1 class="entry-title">Publications</h1>
{% for tag in publications_lists %}
{% if publications_lists|length > 1 %}
<h2>{{tag}}</h2>
{% endif %}
<ul>
{% for publication in publications_lists[tag] %}
<li id="{{ publication.bibkey }}">{{ publication.text }}
[&nbsp;<a href="javascript:disp('{{ publication.bibtex|replace('\n', '\\n')|escape|forceescape }}');">Bibtex</a>&nbsp;]
{% for label, target in [('PDF', publication.pdf), ('Slides', publication.slides), ('Poster', publication.poster)] %}
{{ "[&nbsp;<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>&nbsp;]" % (target, label) if target }}
{% endfor %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
</section>
