Frequently asked questions

How do I sort the bibliography?

There are several tools out there like   bibsort   which will do that job fine.


How do I delete a bibliographic entry?

Click   [edit],   delete the content of the input field and click   Save.


The exported bibliography contains red gibberish like \gefr{...}. What is that and what can I do to make it go away?

The red codes are TeX commands that are unknown to Bibwiki. Therefore it can't convert it to HTML. If there are just a few commands, I recommend you correct them by hand. Otherwise you have to insert the appropiate code in the function   BblFile->format_cmd()   of the file   BblFile.php.


Can Bibwiki manage string definitions   (@STRING{..})?

Yes and No. Yes: When importing data Bibwiki can convert publisher and address information to abbreviated strings. Use the variable   $wgImportReplacements   to define the search patterns and their replacements. No: You can't use Bibwiki to create, change or delete string definitions in a bibliography.
