💖 rubibtex — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the rubibtex(1) page from the General Commands Manual 💅 this is a TeX Live situation and honestly? it's giving niche-but-iconic. it's the little helper that lets your bibliography have Russian names in it. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

rubibtex — make a bibliography for (La)TeX using Russian letters as item names 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rubibtex BASENAME

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

rubibtex is literally here to run bibtex(1) on auxiliary files that have Russian characters chillin' in the item names (aka the citation keys). she's part of the T2 package, periodt. 💜

so here's the whole vibe, step by step, bestie:

  • rubibtex copies the auxiliary file over to /tmp 🫶
  • then it uses sed(1) to convert the Cyrillic character commands into their 8-bit ASCII equivalents ✨
  • then it runs bibtex(1) on that modified file 🔥
  • and finally it moves the original auxiliary file back — which overwrites the modified file 😭
⚠️ heads up, gorgeous: rubibtex assumes that the bibtex(1) database (bib) files are encoded with the KOI8-R encoding. don't come for her if you didn't do that. 💀

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • basename.aux — the LaTeX auxiliary file 🌈

🙈 BUGS 🙈

found a bug? don't suffer in silence, bestie — email the bug reports to <https://lists.tug.org/tex-k> (it's a public mailing list, so everybody gets to see you being a helpful main character 👑).
