Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Any equivalent of BibTeX and bib databases?

["E.L. Willighagen" <egonw@sci.kun.nl>]

In the last 1.5 year i've been working now and then on a project a called
JReferences to store my references in a DocBook repository... There is a
tool
that can do numbering of your referneces, just like bibtex....
(http://jreferences.sf.net)

anyway, to answer your question... BibTex 2 DocBook is high on my TODO
list... Please have a look at my project, and send me your comments, i
hope
to add bibtex import this weekend or next weekend...

regards,

Egon
