Description: # BibTeX Tools
        
        This repository contains a collection of functions that might be helpful when
        working with BibTeX files (`*.bib`).
        
        The main purpose is to clean up bib files such that match the format for the
        [biblatex](https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex) package.
        
        Right now, the following functions are available
        
        * **Cleaning bib files:** The command `bibtex-tools clean` allows to clean a
          bib-files. This includes replacing unicode characters by the LaTeX version.
          It is also possible to pass an additional file containing abbreviations,
          e.g., the `IEEEabbr.bib` file that is often used by authors publishing in
          IEEE journals.
        * **Modernizing bib files:** The command `bibtex-tools modernize` allows to
          update the format of several fields in a bib-file.
          This includes replacing the deprecated month strings with the proper number
          entry, e.g., `month=jan` --> `month={1}`.
          There also is an option to download information from arXiv, if the `eprint`
          field is available.
        * **Combining bib files:** The command `bibtex-tools combine` allows combining
          multiple bib-files into a single one.
          By default, it automatically renames duplicate entry IDs that might occur
          after merging the files.
        
        Use `bibtex-tools --help` to list the possible commands and `bibtex-tools
        <command> --help` to list the possible options for the sub-command `<command>`.
