Bib2php.conf

advanced use ● advanced features require a bibaux file ● BibTeX format @article{foo11, SUPERSEDES = “foo10|foo09”, RELATED = “First attempt to apply foo to bar|baz08”, RELATED = “baz09”, } ● Documented for easy reference

bibaux ● supplemental ● downloads ● related documents ● awards ● superseded papers ● cover pictures ● document types not defined by BibTeX ● conference abstract / paper distinction ● talks ● posters
