Module:BibTeX2Cite

File:Ambox warning blue construction.svg

This module is rated as pre-alpha. It is unfinished, and may or may not be in active development. It should not be used from article namespace pages. Modules remain pre-alpha until the original editor (or someone who takes one over if it is abandoned for some time) is satisfied with the basic structure.

ContextEdit

As explained more fully at Module:LaTeX2UTF8, the TeX/LaTeX typesetting systems use a bibliographic format called BibTeX which is in wide use in mathematical and scientific fields. This module contains the first initial steps to allow translation from BibTeX to the {{cite journal}} family of templates. Due to the use of "}}" in BibTeX, the raw BibTeX code should be kept in a separate module, not article space.

UsageEdit

local p = {}
function p.test(frame)
	local s = [[
 	@book {MR0161818,
 	AUTHOR = {Erd{\H{o}}s, P{\'a}l and Sur{\'a}nyi, J{\'a}nos},
 	TITLE = {V\'alogatott fejezetek a sz\'amelm\'eletb{\H o}l},
 	PUBLISHER = {Tank\"onyvkiad\'o V\'allalat, Budapest},
 	YEAR = {1960},
 	PAGES = {250},
 	MRCLASS = {10.00},
 	MRNUMBER = {0161818 (28 \#5022)},
	} 
	]]
	local c = p.BibTeX2Cite(s)
  	return frame:expandTemplate{title = 'cite journal', args = c["citeparms"]}
end

should result in returning
