bibtexconv is a BibTeX file converter which allows
one to export BibTeX entries to other formats, including customly defined text
output. Furthermore, it provides the possibility to check URLs (including MD5,
size and MIME type computations) and to verify ISBN and ISSN numbers.
bibtexconv provides an interactive mode (usually used in form of export scripts)
which allows for fine-granular selection of entries, sorting and export
template specification.
The following arguments may be provided:
- BibTeX_File
- The BibTeX input file.
- -export-to-bibtex=file
- Write the results as BibTeX into the given file.
- -export-to-separate-bibtexs=prefix
- Write the results as BibTeX; for each entry, an own file
will be created. The filename will be generated from given prefix (e.g.
"/tmp/MyBibTex-"), the entry key and ".bib".
- -export-to-xml=file
- Write the results as XML (as used by IETF Internet Draft
processing tools) into the given file.
- -export-to-separate-xmls=prefix
- Write the results as XML; for each entry, an own file will
be created. The filename will be generated from given prefix (e.g.
"/tmp/MyBibTex-"), the entry key and ".xml".
- -nbsp=string
- Replace non-breakable space by given string (for example,
" " when writing HTML).
- -linebreak=string
- Replace linebreak by given string (for example,
"<br />" when writing HTML).
- -check-urls
- Check URLs by downloading the content file and adding MD5,
size and MIME type entries.
- -only-check-new-urls
- Combined with -check-urls, checks are only performed for
new entries where MD5, size and/or MIME type are still unknown.
- -store-downloads=directory
- Combined with -check-urls, all checked references are
downloaded and stored in the given directory. Existing files will be
overwritten.
- -add-url-command
- Add \url{} commands to url tags in BibTeX export.
- -skip-notes-with-isbn-and-issn
- When reading the BibTeX file, ignore "note" items
with ISBN and ISSN.
- -add-notes-with-isbn-and-issn
- When writing a BibTeX file, create "note" items
with ISBN and ISSN.
- -non-interactive
- Turns on non-interactive mode. Useful for just performing
URL checks and ISBN/ISSN verification.
After startup, bibtexconv accepts the following commands from standard input
(not as command-line arguments!):
- cite key custom1 custom2
custom3 custom4 custom5
- Select specific entry in the input BibTeX file, given by
key. Optionally, up to five custom strings may be attached to the selected
entry.
- citeAll
- Select all entries in the input BibTeX file.
- clear
- Clear all selections.
- echo string
- Write given string to standard output.
- export
- Export selected entries to standard output, according to
configured printing template.
- header
-
- include file
- Include another export script, given by file name.
- monthNames jan feb mar apr
may jun jul aug sep oct nov dec
- Changes textual representation of month names. This is
necessary when non-English names are required for export.
- nbsp
- Changes textual representation of the "non-breakable
space", for example in HTML or ~ in BibTeX.

Have a look into /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ (or corresponding path of
your system) for example export scripts. The export scripts contain the
commands which are read by bibtexconv from standard input.

-export-to-bibtex=UpdatedReferences.bib \
-check-urls -only-check-new-urls -non-interactive
Checks URLs of all entries in
/usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples/ExampleReferences.bib, adds MD5, size
and MIME type items and writes the results to UpdatedReferences.bib.
