Bug#982854: ITP: libtext-bibtex-validate-perl -- validator for BibTeX format



Package: wnpp
Owner: Andrius Merkys <merkys@debian.org>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : libtext-bibtex-validate-perl
  Version         : 0.2.0
  Upstream Author : Andrius Merkys <merkys@cpan.org>
* URL             : https://metacpan.org/release/Text-BibTeX-Validate
* License         : BSD-3-Clause
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description     : validator for BibTeX format

Text::BibTeX::Validate checks the standard fields of BibTeX entries for
their compliance with their format. In particular, value of 'email' is
checked against RFC 822 mandated email address syntax, value of 'doi' is
checked to  start with 10. and contain at least one / and so on. Some
nonstandard fields as 'isbn', 'issn' and 'url' are also checked.
Failures of checks are raised as Perl warnings.

I have developed this Perl module to use for debian/upstream/metadata
(a.k.a. DEP12) validation by Debian::DEP12 Perl module (will be packaged
next). DEP12 encompasses BibTeX, thus this module could also be used to
validate BibTeX proper.

Remark: This package is to be maintained with Debian Perl Group at
