read.bib: bibtex parser

Description

Parser for bibliography databases written in the bib format.

Usage

read.bib(file = findBibFile(package), package = "bibtex",
  encoding = "unknown", header = if (length(preamble)) paste(preamble, sep =
  "\n") else "", footer = "")

Value

An object of class "bibentry", similar to those obtained by the

bibentry function.

Arguments

file: bib file to parse. By default, the file REFERENCES.bib in the root directory of the package given by the package argument is used.
package: package from which we want to read the bibliography. Only used if file is unspecified. Core R packages (base, datasets, graphics, grDevices, methods, stats, stats4, tools and utils) are treated specially: this package contains bibtex entries for these packages.
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
