+== Howto: import BibTeX file ==
+
+BibTeX files (.bib) can be imported using the parsebib.py script
+which is available in django/mysite/papers/. This script makes 
+heavy use of the parse_file and parse_string from zs.bibtex.parser.
+
+The bibfile must be prepared for importing. First make sure only
+ASCII characters are used. Every \ must be replaced by \\\ (note:
+three backslashes). Remove all empty lines at the end of the file.
+
+Copy all pdf files that must be attached to the /var/www/media/papers
+directory. Check if all filenames match the citekeys in the bibfile
+(be aware of Capitals). Also make sure all files have .pdf as extension
+and not .PDF
+
+After that check the bibfile in python with the parse_file routine:
+$ python manage.py shell
+>>> from zs.bibtex.parser import parse_file
+>>> a = parse_file("bladiebla.bib")
+
+If no errors are reported you can use the parsebib.py script:
+$ python manage.py shell
+>>> from papers import parsebib
+>>> parsebib.parse("bladiebla.bib")
+
+In case of duplicate citekeys this will be reported. Also the number
+of new entries are given.
