I needed a .bib-based bibliography generator for XHTML, so I
wrote
one with help from a friend who had developed a .bib parser.
The
output of my generator can be seen at
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/thesis/html5-conf
ormance-checker.xhtml#references
I've wrapped the values of .bib fields in elements whose
class name
is the .bib field name. I did it just in case. I don't have
any
consumer use case for those class names. It was just
super-easy to
generate them.
My use case (publishing an academic paper with a
bibliography) is not
mentioned as a use case at
h
ttp://microformats.org/wiki/citation-brainstorming .
More to the
point, the wiki has no consumer use case for my publication
use case.
Does this mean that hCite is not for me at all?
If hCite is for me, what's the elevator pitch convincing me
to put
more effort into my generator? What benefits should I expect
if I do?
Is hCite mature enough to be implemented yet?
Moreover, is it even possible to generate hCite from my
source data
(http://hsivon
en.iki.fi/thesis/dippa.bib) without sacrificing the
presentation that I want and without potentially generating
bogus
markup for personal names? For example, my source data does
not
encode explicitly the given name, the family name and other
stuff
that isn't quite neither. As far as I can tell, it is
impossible to
tell heuristically that the middle token in these two names
is
semantically different:
