Hi Jon and list,

Will there be a feature in B8 to export databases in html format, or is it already possible and I just missed it?

thanks
tom

Hi Tom,

It's already possible and you just missed it. In the Bib Formatter menu option, you can specify many options for outputting a bibliography (format name, destination, etc.). One of the options is HTML (as opposed to styled text (RTF), plain text, and BibTeX).

OK, thanks. Is it possible to add some tags like endnote does:

Ben Gaied N., Glasser N., Ramalanjaona N., Betlz H., Wolff P., Marquet R., Burger A. and Mely Y. (2005). 8-vinyl-deoxyadenosine,
an alternative fluorescent nucleoside analogue to
2Ã•-deoxyribosyl-2-aminopurine with improved properties. Nucleic Acid Research

Bookends won't do that for you automatically. It is possible to add HTML tags in the format itself (enclose them in $ signs or ` backquotes), which will then be output with the reference data. You could put this in the Order field, for example:

$$a$$

Span is used for style sheets, as far as I know. Why do you want it output for each element in the bibliography (since Bookends takes care of the styling for you)?

styling yes. but how can I use eg different colors for each field (maybe I missed something again)?

Well, if the text is colored in Bookends, that will be included in the HTML output.

If you want black and white text in the database (very likely) and color only in the HTML, then use the same strategy in the format to output the color tags:

$$a$$

will output the authors in red.

so I set all the tags in my format:

$$a$ $(d).$ $t.$....

and I get as output:

<HTML><BODY>
Mercep M., Sussman J.J., Noguchi P. (2001). Activation-induced apoptosis.

curiosly the title is only halfway in italic???

Yes, I see that. Looks like the styled text offset is incorrect. I'll look into this.

This has gotten pretty specific, so let's take this off the forum. Please email us about it at

and we'll continue the discussion.
