Hi all, I have been creating a Perl script for scanning through RTF and replacing the cite-keys with the actual citations. I have been testing it on a small manuscript I have, but I would like to do more extensive tests. Would someone be kind enough to send me their manuscript and the associated bib offlist? I solemnly promise to use it ONLY for my testing and for nothing else. The longer the manuscript the better. As expected, the script is really very fast, producing results almost instantaneously, but very long and complicated manuscripts would be a better yardstick.
Oh, and also send me the style of citations that you want to deploy. I have currently created one for the Data Science Journal <http://dsj.codataweb.org/instructions.pdf>, but I would be happy to extend it for other styles as well. The way I have written the script makes it easy to add new styles. To give a brief background -- I really love BD but I hate TeX. I haven't found any reasonable solution for me to use for inserting cite-keys and converting them to actual citations. The existing solutions are inadequate for my needs -- the Ruby solution seems to be DOA, the AppleScript solution is too slow and works only with Pages. I use and like Perl, and that allows me to do what I want -- I write my manuscript in Scrivener, using the BD Autocomplete plugin to do the insertions, and then I export the manuscript to RTF, run my Perl script to convert the cite-keys to citations, and then open the resulting RTF in Pages to do the final layout. That works for me. It might work for others. Many thanks in advance. -- Puneet Kishor ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
