bibtex8 - 8-bit Big BibTeX
bibtex8 [
options]
aux-file
BibTeX8 is an 8-bit implementation of BibTeX written in C. It has been
enhanced by adding the following features:
- "big" (32-bit) and customisable capacity
- flexible support for non-English languages using 8-bit character sets
BibTeX8 accepts 8-bit characters in its input files, and writes 8-bit
characters to its output files. The character set is defined by an external
configuration file --- the Codepage and Sort order ("CS") file. By
default, it reads a specific CS file "88591lat.csf", which defines
ISO 8859-1 character set and its alphabetical sorting order including accented
characters.
-
-? --help

-7 --traditional
- operate in the original 7-bit mode, no CS file used. Only
7-bit ASCII characters are supported, and they are sorted by ASCII code
value.
-
-8 --8bit
- force 8-bit mode, no CS file used. All 8-bit characters
(code > 127) are treated as letters, and they are sorted by their code
value.
-
-c --csfile FILE
- read FILE as the BibTeX character set and sort definition
file. Note that options -7, -8 and -c are
exclusive.
