  • Usage: % python3 bib2md.py [bibtex_file] [output_dir]
• bib2md-students.py - Python script to generate Markdown entries for student theses and dissertations, generates ./students-thesis.md to then be copy/pasted into _pages/students.md

Jupyter notebook Markdown generator

MCW: I don’t use any of these files, have been moved to unused/ folder.

These .ipynb files are Jupyter notebook files that convert a TSV containing structured data about talks (talks.tsv) or presentations (presentations.tsv) into individual markdown files that will be properly formatted for the academicpages template. The notebooks contain a lot of documentation about the process. The .py files are pure python that do the same things if they are executed in a terminal, they just don’t have pretty documentation.

• publications.ipynb
• publications.py
• publications.tsv
• PubsFromBib.ipynb
• pubsFromBib.py
• talks.ipynb
• talks.py
• talks.tsv
