NAME

bibmod - Modify .bib fields for BibTeX/BibLaTeX

SYNOPSIS

    perl bibmod.pl [bib_file ...] [--all] [--prf=prf_file]
                   [--out_flag=flag] [--verbose]
                   [--turn_on=routine ...] [--turn_off=routine ...]
                   [--nofm] [--nopause]

DESCRIPTION

    Designated .bib files are modified according to the predefined
    modifier routines and/or user preferences.
    Although any .bib file can be modified, this program can be
    particularly useful for EndNote-exported .bib files,
    where many strings need to be converted to LaTeX commands.

OPTIONS

    bib_file ...
        .bib files to be modified.

    --all (short form: -a)
        All .bib files in the current working directory will be modified.

    --prf=prf_file
        A user preferences file for string modifications.
        String pairs contained in this file take precedence
        over the predefined modifier routines.
        Refer to the sample file 'sample.prf' for the syntax.

    --out_flag=flag (short form: --flag, default: empty)
        A string to be appended to the names of modified .bib files.

    --verbose (short form: -v)
        Display the new lines of a bib file before its modifications.

    --turn_on=routine ... (short form: -off)
    --turn_off=routine ... (short form: -off)
        The following modifier routines can be toggled on or off.
            enclose_with_braces      (default: on)
            subscript_molecules      (default: on)
            superscript_isotopes     (default: on)
            greeks_to_tex_cmds       (default: on)
            accented_to_tex_syntaxes (default: on)
            to_url_underscores       (default: off)
            rm_periods_from_journal  (default: off)
            to_tex_symbs             (default: on)

    --nofm
        Do not show the front matter at the beginning of the program.

    --nopause
        Do not pause the shell at the end of the program.

EXAMPLES

    perl bibmod.pl molytech.bib --v
    perl bibmod.pl molytech.bib murine.bib --prf=molytech.prf
    perl bibmod.pl --all --nofm --on=rm_periods_from_journal

REQUIREMENTS

Perl 5

CAVEATS

    Please make sure that your .bib files are encoded in UTF-8;
    non-7-bit characters will be corrupted otherwise.
