This is a simple script that parses a BibTeX file and generates the Markdown files for the Beautiful Hugo theme, especially the section that goes into the front matter (which is pretty much YAML rather than Mardown actually).

The script relies on bibtexparser and pybtex libs to get the individual entries from the BibTeX file with your publications and then generates a .md file for each one of them.

Simply download the script make sure that you have bibtexparser and pybtex installed. Follow the argparse help message below to run:

usage: bib2md.py [-h] -i BIB [-d DIR]

  -i BIB, --input BIB  input bibtex .bib file
  -d DIR, --dir DIR    output dir to store .md files

This project was forked and originally based on the work of Petros Aristidou called parse_bib for Hugo Academic. However since I made it compatible to Beautiful Hugo theme apart from including the pybtex dependency, I think this project has followed its own path. I kept @apetros' license, tho.
