Proposed patch to add BibTeX support. (23.73 KB, patch)

Description virens 2010-11-22 21:59:25 UTC
The requested enchancement is to support BiBTeX tool for generation of references in doxygen documentation. For instance, inside the code I have:

>>For Shack-Hartmann sensor, one may consider classical case "Object against the >>lens"\cite{goodmanEng}. In such case, the optical field in the plane just after >>the lens is:

Now that is the idea: under the page it should appear the Reference section with the reference from my bib.file. The example of this feature can be seen here:

http://www.qgar.org/doc/html/api/qgarapps/Bibliography.html

They did this using some scripts, but it would be highly appreciated from research community to be able directly insert \cite{} commands in documents.

Proposed patch to add BibTeX support.

BibTeX items can now be referred to through the new \cite command in Doxygen.

There are also three new config options:
- CITE_SOURCE: can be only "bibtex" for now
- CITE_STYLE: set to "bynumber" or "byauthor" to change the in-text formatting
- CITE_DATA: list of .bib files

See the updated documentation for more details.
The purpose of the CITE_SOURCE option is to provide a common ground for implementing other backends. For the moment, only the BibTeX backend is implemented.

The patch file is quite big relative to the amount of changes, because I had to embed the contents of my customized .bst files inside the source code (cite_bst.cpp).
