NAME

       bibtex8 - 8-bit Big BibTeX version 0.99c

SYNOPSIS

       bibtex8 [options] aux-file

DESCRIPTION

       8-bit BibTeX is an enhanced, portable C version of BibTeX 0.99.	It has been enhanced in these areas:

       - conversion to "big" (32-bit) capacity

       - capacity selectable at run time

       - flexible support for non-English languages using 8-bit character sets

       - well matched to LateX2e and its "inputenc" package

       Oren  Patashnik, the creator of BibTeX, is working on a new BibTeX 1.0 that will be a modern implementation supporting large capacities and
       non-English languages (see TUGboat, pages 269--274, volume 15, number 3, September 1994).  He is content for this version to  be  released,
       but hopes that people will eventually migrate to BibTeX 1.0 when it is released.  Its release date is uncertain at the moment.

NAME

       Text::BibTeX::BibSort - generate sort keys for bibliographic entries

SYNOPSIS

	  # Assuming $entry comes from a database of the 'Bib' structure
	  # (i.e., that it's blessed into the BibEntry class, which inherits
	  # the sort_key method from BibSort):
	  $sort_key = $entry->sort_key;

DESCRIPTION

       "Text::BibTeX::BibSort" is a base class of "Text::BibTeX::BibEntry" for generating sort keys from bibliography entries.	It could in
       principle (and, someday, might) offer a wide range of highly customizable sort-key generators.  Currently, though, it provides only a
       single method ("sort_key") for public use, and that method only pays attention to one structure option, "sortby".

METHODS

       sort_key ()
	   Generates a sort key for a single bibliographic entry.  Assumes this entry conforms to the "Bib" database structure.  The nature of
	   this sort key is controlled by the "sortby" option, which can be either "name" or "year".  (The "namestyle" also has a role, in
	   determining how author/editor names are formatted for inclusion in the sort key.)

	   For by-name sorting (which is how BibTeX's standard styles work), the sort key consists of one of the "author", "editor",
	   "organization", or "key" fields (depending on the entry type and which fields are actually present), followed by the year and the
	   title.  All fields are drastically simplified to produce the sort key: non-English letters are mercilessly anglicized, non-alphabetic
	   characters are stripped, and everything is forced to lowercase.  (The first two steps are done by the "purify_string" routine; see
	   "Generic string-processing functions" in Text::BibTeX for a brief description, and the descripton of the C function
	   "bt_purify_string()" in bt_misc for all the gory details.)
