Functions for parsing .bib files

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.
