NAME

6       "LaTeXML::Pre::BibTeX" - implements a BibTeX parser for LaTeXML.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       "LaTeXML::Pre::BibTeX" serves as a low-level parser of BibTeX database
10       files.  It parses and stores a "LaTeXML::Pre::BibTeX::Entry" for each
11       entry into the current STATE.  BibTeX "string" macros are substituted
12       into the field values, but no other processing of the data is done.
13       See "LaTeXML::Package::BibTeX.pool.ltxml" for how further processing is
14       carried out, and can be customized.
15
16   Creating a BibTeX
17       "my $bib = LaTeXML::Pre::BibTeX->newFromFile($bibname);"
18           Creates a "LaTeXML::Pre::BibTeX" object representing a bibliography
19           from a BibTeX database file.
20
21       "my $bib = LaTeXML::Pre::BibTeX->newFromString($string);"
22           Creates a "LaTeXML::Pre::BibTeX" object representing a bibliography
23           from a string containing the BibTeX data.
24
25   Methods
26       "$string = $bib->toTeX;"
27           Returns a string containing the TeX code to be digested by a
28           LaTeXML object to process the bibliography.  The string contains
29           all @PREAMBLE data and invocations of "\\ProcessBibTeXEntry{$key}"
30           for each bibliographic entry. The $key can be used to lookup the
31           data from $STATE as "LookupValue('BIBITEM@'.$key)".  See
32           "BibTeX.pool" for how the processing is carried out.
33
34   BibEntry objects
35       The representation of a BibTeX entry.
36
37       "$type = $bibentry->getType;"
38           Returns a string naming the entry type of the entry (No aliasing is
39           done here).
40
41       "$key = $bibentry->getKey;"
42           Returns the bibliographic key for the entry.
43
44       "@fields = $bibentry->getFields;"
45           Returns a list of pairs "[$name,$value]" representing all fields,
46           in the order defined, for the entry.  Both the $name and $value are
47           strings.  Field names may be repeated, if they are in the
48           bibliography.
49
50       "$value = $bibentry->getField($name);"
51           Returns the value (or "undef") associated with the the given field
52           name. If the field was repeated in the bibliography, only the last
53           one is returned.
