Yo, I know that some people here are paranoid about having "generated files" in the git tree. However, I'd like to propose that we allow this for the bibliographic entries: - Documentation/web/cite-us.bib : this would be a typical .bib file, containing normal bibtex entries for any paper that uses lilypond. - Documentation/web/cite-us.itexi : this would be an autogenerated .itexi file, created with either bibtex or biber[1], from cite-us.bib.
[1] biber is a variant of bibtex which can handle utf-8; this would allow us to display accented names properly, instead of just removing the accent or whatever. The advantage of including the generated file is that then we don't need to require that people have bibtex or biber. That's not a huge problem for building lilypond in general, but it would be nice to keep the build requirements for the website fairly low. (I admit that lilypond.org *does* have bibtex installed, and if necessary we could install biber from source) The alternative is to re-invent the wheel: figure out our own way of handling utf-8 characters in .bib files. I don't see this as an efficient use of time. (that said, if anybody knows more about utf-8 in .bib than me -- which is not hard to do -- then they may have better suggestions) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
