Does cb2bib remove drudgery from bibliography creation?

11-11-2008 09:11 AM
Many academics and students share a dirty secret: They hate the drudgery of assembling bibliographies. The cb2bib utility attempts to remove some of the drudgery, at least so far as online references go. Designed primarily for use with BibTeX, cb2bib can also be used with other formats once you export the results. However, whether the application actually makes bibliographical tasks easier seems questionable.

NAME
bib2pdf - script to convert BibTeX format files to PDF format files SYNOPSIS
bib2pdf <input.bib> <output.pdf> DESCRIPTION
bib2pdf is a script to convert a BibTeX file into a PDF file. The conversion is performed by first creating a small LaTeX file in which all the bibliographical records are inserted. That LaTeX file is then latex-compiled into a DVI file which, in turn, gets converted into a PDF file using dvipdfm. Note that the script might be configured to use pdflatex instead of latex, thus producing the PDF output file with no extra conversion step. This script is part of the cb2bib package and is located at /usr/share/cb2bib/c2btools/bib2pdf. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES TO BE CITED
