Installation

------------

$ python setup.py install

Instructions

------------

This script searches a LaTeX file for citekeys, and tries to match citekeys

in the form author:year:page to the NASA ADS database. For cite keys that

successfully resolve to a unique article, the script downloads the BibTeX

entry and appends it to a file called [original]_auto.bib where [original] is

the original name of the input file, with the .tex extension stripped. For

example, the following command

$ auto_bibtex.py ms.tex

will produce an output file called ms_auto.bib. This bibliography can then

be included in the LaTeX file with

\bibliography{ms_auto, custom}

where custom.bib would contain any references not resolved by ADS.

Notes

-----

- This script assumes the year is given in 2-digit form, e.g. 83 for 1983
