Setup¶

Publipy builds on Pybtex, a BibTeX library for python. Pybtex supports Setuptools plugins which can be supplied by clients in order to define e.g.

• backends for new output formats or handling of existing formats (Publipy uses a customhtml plugin to modify html output)
• styles for defining (output format-agnostic) styles (Publipy uses unsrtwithlinks styles for adding hyperlinkst to the classic UNSRT citation style and also ships a German version of the style)
• label styles for defining how labels are rendered
• sorting plugins for influencing the order of bibliography items

Before running Pybtex, the plugins must be installed by:

sudo python3 setup.py install

Furthermore, all necessary requirements should be installed via:

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

or:

pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

to install without root priviliges.

For creating new plugins, consult the setup.py file and the Pybtex documentation.
