Bibtex parser #2137

TwlyY29 · 2019-07-10T13:15:25Z

Hi,

as a user of geany I was missing an overview of bibliographic entries when opening bibtex files for a long time.
After contacting the maintainers of geany and proposing some code that adds the missing functionality, they recommended me to add such a parser to the ctags project as well (https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03221.html).
Well, and here I am, proposing my bibtex-parser to you guys as well. It differs from the geany implementation in that it is now based on the existing tex-parser that ships with ctags.
The result of the parser is a list of identifiers for bibtex entries.

Let me know what you think.

Best
Mirco

Coverage increased (+0.04%) to 86.051% when pulling 1e8c3f2 on TwlyY29:bibtex-parser into 1258adf on universal-ctags:master.

Thank you. I have 3 requests.

add test cases. See http://docs.ctags.io/en/latest/units.html . Many examples are in Units/*.
update win32/ctags_vs2013.vcxproj and ctags_vs2013.vcxproj.filters. An example can be found in
ce36273 .
3 add your parsre to docs/news.rst as a new parser.

… bibtex parser to the news, and checking for bibtex keywords is now case insensitive.

Thanks for your thorough review and helpful hints, @masatake !

Thank you!

I have two extra comments.

You chose "BibTex" as the name of parser. How do you think to change it to "BibTeX" parser?

Could you consider to add "abbreviation" kind defined with @string keyword as described in
http://www.bibtex.org/Format/ ?

Hi, sure, I can rename the parser. Is it just in the bibtex.c file or somewhere else?
Also, I added the @string keyword. I'll create a separate pull request for that.

Best,
Mirco
