BibHTML: HTML page (with images) from BibTex files

  • BibHTML generates a HTML file from one or several BibTex files; duplicate entries are merged.
  • BibHTML supports regular and custom BibTex types and fields; including images, which be displayed on the left or right side of BibTex entries on the HTML page.
  • The abstract, the keywords, the BibTex citation can be shown on demand (using Javascript).
  • Entries can be selected, sorted or ranked (using a special field that controls their order of appearance).
  • HTML pages are rendered using CCS style sheets. The order of the fields (and which fields are displayed or not) can be changed by editing a formatting text file.

MarkPad: As many gestural shorcuts as you need

MarkPad is a Mac OSX application that allows performing simple gestures to execute various actions (execute scripts or commands, open/hide applications, files, directories, webpages, etc.) Gestures consist of strokes starting from the touchpad border (thus not conflicting with pointing). Actions depend on the starting and ending locations of the strokes, which allows defining hundreds of different gestures.

MarkPad provides a novice and an expert mode. In novice mode, the user touches the touchpad border for a short amount of time and a menu appears. In expert mode, the user perform the same gesture without waiting for the menu to appear. MarkPad can be improved by adding visual or tactile marks on the touchpad (e.g. transparent or colored tape).

See the MarkPad page to get the manual and download the application.
