About

hs-bibutils is library with Haskell bindings to Chris Putnam's bibutils, a library that interconverts between various bibliography formats using a common MODS-format XML intermediate.

hs-bibutils can be used with citeproc-hs and pandoc to read and use various bibliographic database formats for processing and automatically formatting citations and references according to a CSL style.

citeproc-hs adds to pandoc, the famous Haskell text processing tool, a Bibtex like citation and bibliographic formatting and generation facility.

CSL is an XML language for specifying citation and bibliographic formatting, similar in principle to BibTeX .bst files or the binary style files in commercial products like Endnote or Reference Manager.

Download

hs-bibutils can be downloaded from Hackage:

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/hs-bibutils

To get the darcs source run:

    darcs get http://code.haskell.org/hs-bibutils/

Installation

hs-bibutils does not require bibutils to be installed, since it ships with its one version of the library. To build and install hs-bibutils unpack the tar archive, in the source directory run:

    runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
    runhaskell Setup.lhs build
    runhaskell Setup.lhs install

This last step requires root privileges.

If you don't have root privileges you can install hs-bibutils locally with these commands:

    runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --user --prefix=$HOME
    runhaskell Setup.lhs build
    runhaskell Setup.lhs install --user

hs-bibutils should be compatible with cabal-install.
