15 | Bib is a program for collecting and formatting reference lists in | |
16 | documents. It is a preprocessor to the nroff/troff typesetting | |
17 | systems, much like the tbl [.tbl.] and eqn [.eqn.] systems. Bib takes | |
18 | two inputs: a document to be formatted and a library of references. | |
19 | Imprecise citations in the source document are replaced by more | |
20 | conventional citation strings, the appropriate references are selected | |
21 | from the reference file, and commands are generated to format both | |
22 | citation and the referenced item in the bibliography. |
