Package: bibtex2html
Version: 1.75-1
Severity: normal
Version 1.75-1 of bibtex2html doesn't seem to properly read LaTeX
macros from a file anymore. Here is an example of trying to use a
macro to substitute in a journal name:
---
$ cat test.bib
@Article{Test2004,
Author = {Webster},
Title = {Test title},
Journal = {\test},
Volume = {100},
Pages = {1000},
Year = {2004},
Abstract = {Test abstract.},
}
$ cat macros.tex
\def \test {"Correctly substituted journal name."}
$ bibtex2html -m macros.tex test.bib
macro: test = "Correctly substituted journal name."
This is bibtex2html version 1.75, compiled on Sun Feb 6 16:17:24 CET

Reading test.bib...ok (1 entries).
calling BibTeX...This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.4.5)
The top-level auxiliary file: /tmp/bib2htmle3c704.aux
The style file: plain.bst
Database file #1: test.bib

ok
Making HTML list of BibTeX entries (test_bib.html)...ok

So it does seem to read the macro, but then later complains with
"Unknown macro: \test". The generated .html files don't contain
anything where the substituted text should be.
I could be doing something wrong here, but this same setup worked with
a previous version of bibtex2html.
