Hi list,
I would like to use ox-bibtex to export a bibliography to html with
multiple bibliography files, as follows:
#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: bibtex_1.bib,bibtex_2.bib plain option:-d option:-noabstract
limit:t
This works with latex export but not with html (I get a "Executing
bibtex2html failed"). It appears that bibtex2html can only process a
single file.
I am attaching a patch which allows me to use multiple files with html
export. It creates a combined bibliography file and call bibtex2html on
it. I am not sure this is the best way to address this, so any
suggestion would be welcome.
Does this look like something that could be merged?
Thanks,
thibault

Subject: [PATCH] * contrib/lisp/ox-bibtex.el (org-bibtex-process-bib-files):
Add support for multiple bibliography files with html export.
Combine comma-separated bibliography files into a single one and process it
using bibtex2html. This matches the behavior already present for latex export.
