There is a plugin available, bib2html but I did not want to use it because it produces the page on fly which means that theoretically it processes the BibTeX file everytime (there may be some caching going on, but I prefer not to rely on that). Instead, I decided to use static HTML pages generated using bibtex2html, but you cannot use it directly as the links it produces will not work. Instead, I had to do the following:
