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 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. SeeBibOptions
.
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 = ":"
.
