bibtex2word

Processes Bibtex files, produces Word Source.xml output

why?

Because I use Word for work, and I prefer to manage citations in Bibtex rather than Word's janky citation manager. I export citations from Google Scholar (or Mendeley) and process them.

how?

simple usage:

~/bin/bibtex2word.py -i citations.bib

more advanced usage:

~/bin/bibtex2word.py -i citations.bib \
   -a "/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Sources.xml" \
   -o /tmp/Sources.xml

then copy /tmp/Sources.xml into place, restart Word, and poof.

bugs?

yeah, probably, please send a PR if you find any. or enhancements.

ReadMe

It would be immensely beneficial if the ReadMe was a bit more detailed on the exact functionality and on the "poof" after execution and restarting Word ;-)
