R: BibLaTeX/BibTeX .bib file parser

ReadBib {RefManageR}

R Documentation

BibLaTeX/BibTeX .bib file parser

Description

Parser for bibliography databases in the bib format containing either BibLaTeX or BibTeX entries.

Usage

ReadBib(file, .Encoding = "UTF-8", header = if (length(preamble))
  paste(preamble, sep = "\n") else "", footer = "",
  check = BibOptions()$check.entries)

Arguments

`file`	string; bib file to parse.
`.Encoding`	encoding
`header`	header of the citation list. By default this is made from the Preamble entries found in the bib file.
`footer`	footer of the citation list.
`check`	“error”, “warn”, or logical `FALSE`. What action should be taken if an entry is missing required fields? `FALSE` means no checking is done, “warn” means entry is added with an error. “error” means the entry will not be added. See `BibOptions`.

Note

Date fields are parsed using the locale specified by Sys.getlocale("LC_TIME"). To read a bib file with character ‘month’ fields in a language other than the current locale, Sys.setlocale should be used to change ‘LC_TIME’' to match the bib file before calling ReadBib.

Keys will be made unique by calling make.unique with sep = ":".
