pbibtex - Man Page

pbibtex [options] auxname[.aux]

pBIBT E X (pbibtex) is a modified version of BIBT E X for Japanese handling. It sorts entries according to code points in EUC-JP. Also, a new built-in function is.kanji.str$ which determines whether an entry is outside ASCII is introduced.

upBIBT E X (upbibtex) is a modified version of pBIBT E X, which sorts entries according to code points in Unicode.

A new built-in function is available, and some other functions are modified to simplify Japanese handling.

is.kanji.str$

[New feature] Pops the top (string) literal to see if it contains any non-ASCII characters. Pushes 1 if it contains at least one, 0 if not.

substring$

Modified to avoid dividing a character string in the middle of a multibyte character.

text.prefix$

Similar modification to substring$ described above.

add.period$

Modified to prevent appending "." after Japanese punctuations corresponding to "!", "?" and "." (e.g. U+FF01, U+FF1F, U+3002 and U+FF0E).

format.name$

Modified to accept Japanese zenkaku ideographic space (U+3000) for names displayed in Japanese. Also modified to recognize Japanese commas (U+3001 and U+FF0C) similar to "and" between names.

bibtex(1), ptex(1).

Japanese version of BIBT E X was originally developed by Shouichi Matsui as JBIBT E X until 1991. It was developed to behave consistently with NTT JT E X in handling legacy Japanese encodings. The old documentations jbibtex.pdf, jbtxdoc.tex, jbtxhak.tex (all available in T E X Live) describe Japanese handling capability and some additional notes of JBIBT E X.

Current (u)pBIBT E X is a forked version of JBIBT E X, and has replaced the encoding conversion routine with one that is compatible with (u)pT E X community edition using the ptexenc library. Note that descriptions of encodings in the old documentations j*.pdf (especially Section 3.3 of jbibtex.pdf, such as BIBTERMCODE and BIBFILECODE) are incorrect anymore.
