NAME¶
ctanbib - retrieve bibliographic information for packages hosted on CTAN.
SYNOPSIS¶
ctanbib <options> [package name]
DESCRIPTION¶
This command can retrieve bibliographic information for TeX packages hosted on CTAN in the BibTeX format.
OPTIONS¶
- -c,--ctan
- use @ctan type instead of @manual. The difference between the two is that the url field contains package CTAN path, instead of link to the package.
- -h,--help
- print the help message.
- -v,--version
- print the version info.
EXAMPLES¶
$ ctanbib latex
This invocation will print data in the BibLaTeX format to the standard output:
@manual{latex, title = {The Latex package}, subtitle = {A TeX macro package that defines LaTeX}, author = {Lamport, Leslie and The LaTeX Team}, url = {http://www.latex-project.org/}, urldate = {2018-08-23}, date = {2018-04-01}, version = {PL 5} }
The --ctan option:
$ ctanbib -c hyperref
This produces bib record with the @ctan type:
@ctan{hyperref, title = {The Hyperref package}, subtitle = {Extensive support for hypertext in LaTeX}, author = {Rahtz, Sebastian and Oberdiek, Heiko}, url = {/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref}, urldate = {2018-08-27}, date = {}, version = {6.86b} }
