Procedure for making the search pages

The basic search pages do not change apart from occasionally adding a new category to search for or a new virtual bibliography source. This is all in line for replacement by more appropriate XML-based code, but for the time being...The information is mainly for my benefit as a reminder.

The search-by-name index pages are made by:

  1. Running my perl script tex2accents.pl to replace all the LaTeX escaped accents by real (non-Ascii) accent characters
  2. Running my perl scripts get-authors.pl (and get-authors1.pl) to get the first authors and make the corresponding web pages with search tags for each name.
  3. Uploading the two created html files: select-by-names and select- by-names1

These scripts can be run any time the bibliography source 00.bib changes to keep the index-search up to date.
