This directory contains (at your own risk):

• template.bib a BibTex template.
• Introduction to BibTex and advice on maintaining BibTeX files.
• Tools for tidying up BibTeX files and converting them to simple text files.

BibTeX Tools

• A csh script to convert a BibTex file to text. Uses bibclean and BibTeX and in the process may detect errors.
• awk script to remove comments
• see for tools available from other ftp sites.
• The following have been noted in version 2.08 of bibclean
  • This directory contains a bug fix to bibclean which ensures bibclean will not spread urls across multiple lines. Please use this.
  • The command line option -delete-empty-fields can cause badly formatted output. These problems may be fixed up by hand. The csh script bib2txt.bat may be used to check the format of a BibTeX file.
  • When installing bibclean either don't use BIBINPUTS or have its set appropriately before running the verification tests.
