🌸 pybtex-convert(1) — a Pybtex bestie moment 🌸

okay so this is the pybtex-convert(1) page, and we're shouting out the Pybtex manual name right up top instead of doing the boring copied header thing 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

pybtex-convert — convert between bibliography database formats. That's the whole vibe: bibliography formats getting a glow-up.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pybtex-convert [ options ] in_filename out_filename

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so pybtex-convert converts bibliography database files between supported formats (currently BibTeX, BibTeXML and YAML). It's giving converter main character energy, no cap.

🎀 GENERAL OPTONS 🎀

yes bestie, the original heading says GENERAL OPTONS — we are keeping that exact spelling because details are sacred, periodt 💅

• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. Version check slay.
• -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. Help is always iconic.
• --strict — turns warnings into errors. Warnings are not just little vibes anymore; they become errors.
• -f FORMAT, --from=FORMAT — input format. The values are bibtex, bibtexml, yaml.
• -t FORMAT, --to=FORMAT — output format. The values are bibtex, bibtexml, yaml.
• --keyless-bibtex-entries — allows BibTeX entries without keys and generates unnamed-<number> keys for them. Keyless entries get generated names, bestie.
• --preserve-case — does not convert identifiers to lower case. Case preservation, we love to see it.

🧚 ENCODING OPTIONS 🧚

• -e ENCODING, --encoding=ENCODING — sets the default encoding. ENCODING is the value slot.
• --input-encoding=ENCODING — the input encoding option; the original gives no extra description beyond the flag, so here's the flag and its ENCODING slot, no invented lore 🙈.
• --output-encoding=ENCODING — the output encoding option; same deal, the original adds no description, so I'm not making one up 💅.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The original SEE ALSO section is empty — no references listed, no cap. Sometimes the link drop is just silence.
