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.
