💖 ISI2BIB(1) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for isi2bib — section 1 of the manual, general commands, the whole vibe. sit down, get a snack, we're doing this 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

isi2bib — a script that converts ISI format files into BibTeX format files. that's the whole job. that's the assignment. and it ate. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

isi2bib <input.isi> <output.bib>

literally just two things: the file you got, and the file you want. in, out, done. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea. isi2bib is a script that converts an ISI-format file into a PDF file. (yes that's what the page says, i'm just the messenger 💀)

the conversion is a two step process, and it's giving relay race:

  1. the ISI-format file gets converted into an XML-format file first 🧚
  2. then that XML-format file gets converted into the BibTeX-format file 🌈

and both of those utilities are shipped inside the bibutils package, so it's not out here doing magic alone, it has friends. 🫶

this script is part of the cb2bib package, and it lives at:

/usr/share/cb2bib/c2btools/isi2bib

no cap, that's its home. 👑
