/ "Prikryl,Petr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say: | Earlier, I was used to use bib files for storing bibliography entries | and BibTeX with some bib styles to produce the desired layout | of Bibliography. This is related to LaTeX.
The biblography.collection parameter is designed to provide something similar to BibTeX. I use it like this: I have a file ~/bibliography.xml where I keep bibliography entries (biblimixed's) for all the documents I reference: <bibliography><title>References</title> <bibliomixed id="xml-rec"><abbrev>XML 1.0</abbrev>Tim Bray, Jean Paoli, C. M. Sperberg-McQueen, and Eve Maler, editors. <citetitle><ulink url="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml";>Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 Second Edition</ulink></citetitle>. World Wide Web Consortium, 2000. </bibliomixed> <!-- ... --> </bibliography> In my document's bibliography, I just use <bibliomixed id="xml-rec"/> Then I point bibliography.collection at ~/bibliography.xml when I transform the document and it plucks the right entries out of my common bibliography. | Is there any equivalent of this when XML DocBook is used | instead of LaTeX? If yes, are ther any utilities for conversion | of bib databases (basically ASCII files) into XML version of | such databases? I don't know of conversion tools, but it'd probably be a handy thing to have.
