LaTeX/bibTeX is the de facto standard for publications in several fields of the "hard sciences" (physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering).
A Typical bibTex entry prepared for bib2Web looks like the examples below (to see an actual bibtex file click here, to view the HTML file produced by bib2web, click here). The field named original tells Bib2Web where to find the original document. The path can be an absolute URL or a relative URL. The bib2web interface will ask you for a base URL relative to which the relative URLs will be interpreted:

As shown in the example above, there are different types of bibTeX entry for various types fo documents. Each entry type accepts a number of fields that are either required (like the title field) or optional (like the month field for a journal paper). Fields unrecognized by bibTeX are ignored (the original field used by Bib2Web is an example of that).
More tutorial information about bibTeX can be found on Dana Jacobsen's bibTex Page
Each type is shown with a "minimal" entry that contains only the required fields, and a "full" entry that contains all the fields that are valid for the type.
