Functions for parsing .bib files

Description

Functions for parsing .bib files

Usage

fread_bib(
  file.bib,
  check.dup.keys = TRUE,
  strip.braces = TRUE,
  check.unescaped.percent = TRUE,
  .bib_expected = TRUE,
  halt = TRUE,
  rstudio = FALSE,
  .report_error
)

bib2DT(file.bib, to_sort = FALSE)

reorder_bib(file.bib, outfile.bib = file.bib)

Arguments

`file.bib`	`.bib` file.
`check.dup.keys`	If `TRUE`, the default, return error if any bib keys are duplicates.
`strip.braces`	If `TRUE`, the default, braces in fields are removed.
`check.unescaped.percent`	If `TRUE`, the default, fields with unescaped percent signs are an error. (Unescaped percent signs in URLs are permitted.) Set to `FALSE` to skip this check.
`.bib_expected`	(logical, default: `TRUE`) Should `file.bib` be expected to have file extension `.bib`? If expectation violated, a warning is emitted.
`halt`	Whether to halt on error. If `NULL`, the default, the value `getOption("TeXCheckR.halt_on_error")` is used. Otherwise, `TRUE` or `FALSE` to halt regardless of the value of the option.
`rstudio`	(logical, default: `FALSE`) If `TRUE`, pop the RStudio session to the location in `file.bib` of the first error.
`.report_error`	A function like `report2console` to handle errors.
`to_sort`	Include only author, title, year, and date.
`outfile.bib`	File to write the reordered bib to. Defaults to `file.bib`.

Details

bib2DT returns a data.table of the entries in file.bib. The function reorder_bib rewrites file.bib, to put it in surname, year, title, line number order.
