bt_misc - miscellaneous BibTeX-like string-processing utilities
bt_purify_string() void bt_purify_string (char * string, btshort options); "Purifies" a "string" in the BibTeX way (usually used for generating sort keys). "string" is modified in-place. "options" is currently unused; just set it to zero for future c...

btparse - C library for parsing and processing BibTeX data files
btparse is a C library for parsing and processing BibTeX files. It provides a lexical scanner and LR parser (constructed by PCCTS), both of which are efficient and offer good error detection and recovery; a set of functions for traversing the AST (ab...

bt_input - input/parsing functions in btparse library
The functions described here are used to read and parse BibTeX data, converting it from raw text to abstract-syntax trees (ASTs). bt_set_stringopts () void bt_set_stringopts (bt_metatype_t metatype, btshort options); Set the string-processing options...

btool_faq - Frequently-Asked Questions about btparse and Text::BibTeX
This document attempts to address questions that I have been asked several times, and are easy to answer -- but not by perusing the documentation. For various reasons, the answers tend to be thinly distributed across several man pages, making it diff...

bt_macros - accessing and manipulating the btparse macro table
btparse maintains a single table of all macros (abbreviations) encountered while parsing BibTeX entries. It updates this table whenever it encounters a "macro definition" (@string) entry, and refers to it whenever a macro is used in an entry and need...

bt_language - the BibTeX data language, as recognized by btparse
One of the problems with BibTeX is that there is no formal specification of the language. This means that users exploring the arcane corners of the language are largely on their own, and programmers implementing their own parsers are completely on th...

bt_traversal - AST traversal/query functions in btparse library
The functions described here are all used to traverse and query the abstract-syntax trees (ASTs) returned by the input functions described in bt_input. The three "bt_next" functions ("bt_next_entry()", "bt_next_field()", and "bt_next_value()") are us...

Text::BibTeX - interface to read and parse BibTeX files
The "Text::BibTeX" module serves mainly as a high-level introduction to the "Text::BibTeX" library, for both code and documentation purposes. The code loads the two fundamental modules for processing BibTeX files ("Text::BibTeX::File" and "Text::BibT...

bt_split_names - splitting up BibTeX names and lists of names
When BibTeX files are used for their original purpose---bibliographic entries describing scholarly publications---processing lists of names (authors and editors mostly) becomes important. Although such name-processing is outside the general-purpose d...

bt_postprocess - post-processing of BibTeX strings, values, and entries
When btparse parses a BibTeX entry, it initially stores the results in an abstract syntax tree (AST), in a form exactly mirroring the parsed data. For example, the entry @Article{Jones:1997a, AuThOr = "Bob Jones" # and # "Jim Smith ", TITLE = "Feedin...

bt_format_names - formatting BibTeX names for consistent output
After splitting a name into its components parts (represented as a "bt_name" structure), you often want to put it back together again as a single string in a consistent way. btparse provides a very flexible way to do this, generally in two stages: fi...

Text::BibTeX::File - interface to whole BibTeX files
"Text::BibTeX::File" provides an object-oriented interface to BibTeX files. Its most obvious purpose is to keep track of a filename and filehandle together for use by the "Text::BibTeX::Entry" module (which is much more interesting). In addition, it ...

Text::BibTeX::Name - interface to BibTeX-style author names
"Text::BibTeX::Name" provides an abstraction for BibTeX-style names and some basic operations on them. A name, in the BibTeX world, consists of a list of *tokens* which are divided amongst four *parts*: `first', `von', `last', and `jr'. Tokens are se...

Text::BibTeX::Value - interfaces to BibTeX values and simple values
The "Text::BibTeX::Value" module provides two classes, "Text::BibTeX::Value" and "Text::BibTeX::SimpleValue", which respectively give you access to BibTeX "compound values" and "simple values". Recall that every field value in a BibTeX entry is the c...

Text::BibTeX::Entry - read and parse BibTeX files
"Text::BibTeX::Entry" does all the real work of reading and parsing BibTeX files. (Well, actually it just provides an object-oriented Perl front-end to a C library that does all that. But that's not important right now.) BibTeX entries can be read ei...

Text::BibTeX::BibSort - generate sort keys for bibliographic entries
"Text::BibTeX::BibSort" is a base class of "Text::BibTeX::BibEntry" for generating sort keys from bibliography entries. It could in principle (and, someday, might) offer a wide range of highly customizable sort-key generators. Currently, though, it p...

Text::BibTeX::BibEntry - defines the "Bib" database structure

Text::BibTeX::BibFormat - formats bibliography entries
The "Text::BibTeX::BibFormat" class is a base class of "Text::BibTeX::BibEntry" for formatting bibliography entries. It thus performs the main job of any program that would hope to supplant BibTeX itself; the other important job (sorting) is handled ...

Text::BibTeX::Structure - provides base classes for user structure modules
The module "Text::BibTeX::Structure" provides two classes that form the basis of the btOOL "structure module" system. This system is how database structures are defined and imposed on BibTeX files, and provides an elegant synthesis of object-oriented...
