juliatex / bibtex.jl Goto Github PK

This suffers the same problem as Humans-of-Julia/BibParser.jl#5 (which is not surprising, as BibParser.jl uses the same code):

julia> using BibTeX

julia> bibtex = """@article{Heun1900,
          title = {Neue Methoden zur approximativen Integration der
          Differentialgleichungen einer unabh\\\"{a}ngigen Ver\\\"{a}nderlichen},
          author = {Heun, Karl},
          journal = {Z. Math. Phys},
          volume = {45},
          pages = {23--38},
          year = {1900},
       }""";

julia> preamble, result = parse_bibtex(bibtex)
("", Dict("Heun1900" => Dict("volume" => "45","author" => "Heun , Karl","pages" => "23--38","journal" => "Z. Math. Phys","year" => "1900","title" => "Neue Methoden zur approximativen Integration der Differentialgleichungen einer unabh\\ \" { a } ngigen Ver\\ \" { a } nderlichen","type" => "article")))

julia> result["Heun1900"]["title"]
"Neue Methoden zur approximativen Integration der Differentialgleichungen einer unabh\\ \" { a } ngigen Ver\\ \" { a } nderlichen"

When I try to parse the example file from the repository, parse_bibtex output a tuple with an empty string and an empty dict.

FYI, I am using Julia 4.2 on windows.

Instead of keeping the list of authors as a unique string, it would make sense to at least have the option to get it as a vector of individual authors?

Would it be possible to register this package?

Also, I noticed that the CI isn't hooked up. I'd be happy to help out if you can give me access.

After getting result from parse_bibtex, sometimes, I would like to select a part of items in result (based on keys) and then export to another bib file. I want if it is possible to add a function (for example export_bibtex) to do that? Thank you.

It would be helpful to mention the alternative https://github.com/Humans-of-Julia/BibParser.jl in the README.
The line

It is common in some bibtex entry types to use a "type" field (well actually I don't know… but it's listed as a possible biblatex type in the documentation so it's reasonable to use it, even if I don't know what is the recommended usage). When parsing a document with such fields, the entry type is overwritten. Is it a desired behavior? Wouldn't it be better to export the entry type to a specific key to prevent that, or at least to have some optional parameter to specify this?

Here is an example:

julia> BibTeX.parse_bibtex("@mytype{mycoolpaper, note={Submitted to AwesomeConference} }")
("", Dict("mycoolpaper" => Dict("note" => "Submitted to AwesomeConference", "type" => "mytype")))

julia> BibTeX.parse_bibtex("@mytype{mycoolpaper, type={Submitted to AwesomeConference} }")
("", Dict("mycoolpaper" => Dict("type" => "Submitted to AwesomeConference")))
