Grouping by type of publications

[perror]

Nice work for this plugin ! I helped me a lot !

I took your plugin for my website, but I wanted to group the publication by types (Journal, Conference, ... and so on). So, I did a very little modification to your plugin to get this feature (sorry for my Python, I do not program often in this language, this code must certainly be improved that's why I didn't do a pull request):

      generator.context['publications'] = publications

With this version, the HTML template can be as follow:

    {% for group in publications|groupby('entry') %}
    <h2>{{ group.grouper[1] }}</h2>
    <ul>
      {% for publication in group.list|sort(attribute='year')|reverse %}
      <li id="{{ publication.key }}">{{ publication.text }}
        [<a href="javascript:disp('{{ publication.bibtex|replace('\n', '<br>')|escape }}');">Bibtex</a>]
        {% for label, target in [('PDF', publication.pdf), ('Slides', publication.slides), ('Poster', publication.poster)] %}
         {{ "[<a href=\"publications/%s\">%s</a>]" % (target, label) if target }}
        {% endfor %}
      </li>
      {% endfor %}
    </ul>
     {% endfor %}

I don't know if you can find something useful in what I did, but if this is the case feel free to use and/or modify my code !
