                         BibToHtml 2.0
                         -------------
			 
			 
			 
This is a new version of the converter BibToHtml. It works differently of
the old version and allows to browse a biliography file with your
prefered  style. The old BibToHtml translates directly a selection of bib 
entries into html. Doing that it analyzes each of these entries, searches 
for the various fields  and translates the content of these ones into html code. 
In this way, BibToHtml has been obliged to create its own bib style.

The present version works with BibTeX and translates a bbl file in the 
following steps.

1)  BibToHtml is inserted as a command in the menu mode BibTeX. As the 
 previous release, you use this command in selecting all a bib file  or 
 only a part, BibToHtml will convert the selected part. If no selection, 
 all the bib file is selected.
 
2)  The selection is put in a temporary bib file, BibToHtml asks for a bib 
 style, it builds an aux temporary file including the following commands
         \bibstyle{your bib style}
         \citation{*}
         \bibdata{$$tmp}
  $$tmp is the name of the temporary bib file. If your selection is a part 
  of a file, or whole the file, 'fooname.bib' all these temporaries files are
  created in the same folder.
  
3) BibToHtml launches BibTeX which deals this temporary aux and converts the
 temporary bib file in a bbl file.
 
 WARNING: when BibTeX is launched and works, BibToHtml get the control  and
 it goes on although the temporary bbbl file is not yet created. In order 
 to avoid this mistake BibToHtml sends this message:
 
 "Converts a bbl file into html. Please wait the end of BibTeX process"
 
 When BibTeX stops (sound beep) you can answer OK to this message and
 at this time BibToHtml is allowed to continue its work.
 
 
4) So, BibToHtml processes the temporary bbl file created and converts 
 it into html. Before it asks "Do you want labels?", it concerns the labels 
 of bibliographic references as [2], [4], [Bas], [Vin], ....  and BibToHtml 
 asks  if you want these labels displayed in the  html file;  default 
 answer is YES. Then the conversion of the bbl file into html starts.
 When it ends, BibToHtml asks for the name of tyhe html file, default name 
 is the name of bib file source in front window. Then, this html file can 
 be directly sentto the browser, else it can load this file for editing it. 
 You may improve this html file, in adding titles or any fancies, for example,
 before sending to the browser.
 
 
 
 
WARNING: if some bib entries of selection are wrong, launching BibTeX will
           display the errors. But these errors don't affect the work of 
           bibToHtml, at the output these erroneous entries will be displayed
           by the browser with wrong fields.
           
WARNING: it is not needed to sort the selection because BibTeX will do it.
           So the html outcome of bibToHtml appears correctly sorted.
