It is the Perl half of btOOL, a pair of libraries for +dealing with BibTeX data; the C half, btparse, is needed to compile +Text::BibTeX. + +Text::BibTeX gives you access to the data at many different levels: you +may work with BibTeX entries as simple "field -> string" mappings, or +get at the original form of the data as a list of simple values +(strings, macros, or numbers) pasted together. You can impose no +restrictions on the allowed/expected entry types or fields, or you can +use the structure defined by BibTeX 0.99's standard style files, or you +can invent your own. |
