rubibtex
rubibtex(1) teTeX rubibtex(1)
NAME
rubibtex - make a bibliography for (La)TeX using Russian letters as item names
SYNOPSIS
rubibtex BASENAME
DESCRIPTION
rubibtex is used to run bibtex(1) on auxiliary files with Russian characters in item names (citation keys). It is part of the T2 package.
rubibtex copies the auxiliary file to /tmp, uses sed(1) to convert Cyrillic character commands to their 8-bit ASCII equivalents; runs bib-
tex(1) on the modified file; and finally moves the original auxiliary file back (overwriting the modified file).
rubibtex assumes that the bibtex(1) database (bib) files are encoded with the KOI8-R encoding.
FILES
basename.aux
LaTeX auxiliary file

None known, but report any bugs found to the authors.
