;;; Change Log:

;; HISTORY
;; 9/88, created H.Kautz
;; modified 1/19/89, allow books with editor but no author;
;;                   added %O ordering field;
;;                   appended invalid multiple fields, instead of
;;                     discarding;
;;                   added rule, a tech report whose %R number
;;                     contains "ISBN" is really a book
;;                   added rule, anything with an editor is a book
;;                     or a proceedings
;;                   added 'manual type, for items with institution
;;                     but no author or editor
;;                   fixed bug so trailing blanks are trimmed
;;                   added 'proceedings type
;;                   used "organization" field for proceedings
;; modified 2/16/89, updated help messages
;; modified 2/23/89, include capitalize stop words in r2b stop words,
;;                   fixed problems with contractions (e.g. it's),
;;                   caught multiple stop words in a row
;; modified 3/1/89,  fixed capitalize-title for first words all caps
;; modified 3/15/89, allow use of " to delimit fields
;; modified 4/18/89, properly "quote" special characters on output

  Because titles are capitalized before matching, the abbreviation
for the journal name should be listed as beginning with a capital
letter, even if it really doesn't.
  For example, a value of '((\"Aij\" \"{Artificial Intelligence}\")
\(\"Ijcai81\" \"ijcai7\")) would expand Aij to the text string
\"Artificial Intelligence\", but would replace Ijcai81 with the
BibTeX macro \"ijcai7\"."

The entry must match the given data exactly.
  Because titles are capitalized before matching, the items in this list

"                   Refer to Bibtex Bibliography Conversion

A refer-style database is of the form:

%A Joe Blow
%T Great Thoughts I've Thought
%D 1977
etc.

This utility converts these kind of databases to bibtex form, for
users of TeX and LaTex.  Instructions:
1.  Visit the file containing the refer-style database.
2.  The command
	M-x r2b-convert-buffer
    converts the entire buffer, appending its output by default in a
    buffer named *Out*, and logging progress and errors in a buffer
    named *Log*.  The original file is never modified.
	Note that results are appended to *Out*, so if that buffer
	buffer already exists and contains material you don't want to
 	save, you should kill it first.
3.  Switch to the buffer *Out* and save it as a named file.
4.  To convert a single refer-style entry, simply position the cursor
    at the entry and enter
	M-x r2b-convert-record
    Again output is appended to *Out* and errors are logged in *Log*.

This utility is very robust and pretty smart about determining the
type of the entry.  It includes facilities for expanding refer macros
to text, or substituting bibtex macros.  Do M-x describe-variable on
     r2b-journal-abbrevs
     r2b-booktitle-abbrevs
     r2b-proceedings-list
for information on these features.
