bib_parser: Functions for parsing .bib files

Description

Functions for parsing .bib files

Usage

fread_bib(
  file.bib,
  check.dup.keys = TRUE,
  strip.braces = TRUE,
  check.unescaped.percent = TRUE,
  .bib_expected = TRUE,
  halt = TRUE,
  rstudio = FALSE,
  .report_error
)
bib2DT(file.bib, to_sort = FALSE)
reorder_bib(file.bib, outfile.bib = file.bib)

Arguments

file.bib: .bib file.
check.dup.keys: If TRUE, the default, return error if any bib keys are duplicates.
strip.braces: If TRUE, the default, braces in fields are removed.
check.unescaped.percent: If TRUE, the default, fields with unescaped percent signs are an error. (Unescaped percent signs in URLs are permitted.) Set to FALSE to skip this check.
.bib_expected: (logical, default: TRUE) Should file.bib be expected to have file extension .bib? If expectation violated, a warning is emitted.
halt: Whether to halt on error. If NULL, the default, the value getOption("TeXCheckR.halt_on_error") is used. Otherwise, TRUE or FALSE to halt regardless of the value of the option.
rstudio: (logical, default: FALSE) If TRUE, pop the RStudio session to the location in file.bib of the first error.
.report_error: A function like report2console to handle errors.
to_sort: Include only author, title, year, and date.
outfile.bib: File to write the reordered bib to. Defaults to file.bib.

Details

bib2DT returns a data.table of the entries in file.bib. The function reorder_bib rewrites file.bib, to put it in surname, year, title, line number order.
