Module:BibTeX2Cite

Context

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.

Usage

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

Erdős, Pál; Surányi, János (1960). "Válogatott fejezetek a számelmáletből". Tankányvkiadá Vállalat, Budapest. p. 250. MR MR0161818.
