Text::BibTeX is a Perl library for reading, parsing, and processing
|
|
BibTeX files. It is the Perl half of btOOL, a pair of libraries for
|
|
dealing with BibTeX data; the C half, btparse, is needed to compile
|
|
Text::BibTeX.
|
|
|
|
Text::BibTeX gives you access to the data at many different levels: you
|
|
may work with BibTeX entries as simple "field -> string" mappings, or
|
|
get at the original form of the data as a list of simple values
|
|
(strings, macros, or numbers) pasted together. You can impose no
|
|
restrictions on the allowed/expected entry types or fields, or you can
|
|
use the structure defined by BibTeX 0.99's standard style files, or you
|
|
can invent your own.
