tohaya

Convert citation files to hayagriva YAML.

Supported file formats:

• Pubmed (*.nbib)
• BibLaTeX
• Support coming soon: RIS, EndNote XML, CSV

Usage

tohaya can be used as a web application at https://fnndsc.github.io/tohaya, or as a command-line program.

Examples

# Convert file and create output file
tohaya citation.nbib --output bibliography.yml

# Alternatively, using pipes
cat citation.nbib | tohaya - >> bibliography.yml

Installation

• Direct download from https://github.com/FNNDSC/tohaya/releases/latest
• Nix flakes: figure it out yourself
• Compile from source: cargo install tohaya
• cargo-binstall: cargo binstall tohaya

Development

The CLI can be developed as usual:

cargo test

The web app is a plain static HTML file found in web/. It requires tohaya to be built using wasm-pack.

A convenient development environment is provided using nix:

nix develop -c just

Acknowledgements

• The upstream typst/hayagriva project provides the BibTeX -> hayagriva conversion library. It also has a CLI of its own.
• All input formats besides BibTeX are supported thanks to biblib
• Web app design is inspired by JonasLoos/bibtext-to-hayagriva-webapp

Roadmap

• [ ] Installation from PyPi using maturin
• [ ] Installation using pixi/mamba/conda
• [ ] Possible upstream integration with hayagriva, see https://github.com/typst/hayagriva/issues/329
