  BibTeX to Doxygen converter
  Usage: python bib2dox.py bibfile.bib > bibfile.dox

  This file is a part of LEMON, a generic C++ optimization library.

  This code is the modification of the BibTeX to XML converter

  Decoder for bibliographic data, BibTeX
  Usage: python bibtex2xml.py bibfile.bib > bibfile.xml

  v.8

  Reuse approved as long as this notification is kept.
  Licence: GPL.

  Contributions/thanks to:
  Egon Willighagen, http://sf.net/projects/jreferences/
  Richard Mahoney (for providing a test case)

  Editted by Sara Sprenkle to be more robust and handle more bibtex features.
  (c) 2003-01-15

  1.  Changed bibtex: tags to bibxml: tags.
  2.  Use xmlns:bibxml="http://bibtexml.sf.net/"
  3.  Allow spaces between @type and first {
  4.  "author" fields with multiple authors split by " and "
      are put in separate xml "bibxml:author" tags.
  5.  Option for Titles: words are capitalized
      only if first letter in title or capitalized inside braces
  6.  Removes braces from within field values
  7.  Ignores comments in bibtex file (including @comment{ or % )
  8.  Replaces some special latex tags, e.g., replaces ~ with ' '
  9.  Handles bibtex @string abbreviations
        --> includes bibtex's default abbreviations for months
        --> does concatenation of abbr # " more " and " more " # abbr
  10. Handles @type( ... ) or @type{ ... }
  11. The keywords field is split on , or ; and put into separate xml
      "bibxml:keywords" tags
  12. Ignores @preamble

  Known Limitations
  1.  Does not transform Latex encoding like math mode and special
      latex symbols.
  2.  Does not parse author fields into first and last names.
      E.g., It does not do anything special to an author whose name is
      in the form LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME
      In "author" tag, will show up as
      <bibxml:author>LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME</bibxml:author>
  3.  Does not handle "crossref" fields other than to print
      <bibxml:crossref>...</bibxml:crossref>
  4.  Does not inform user of the input's format errors.  You just won't
      be able to transform the file later with XSL

  You will have to manually edit the XML output if you need to handle
  these (and unknown) limitations.
