Name
miktex-bibtex — make a bibliography for LaTeX
Synopsis
miktex-bibtex [option...] auxfile
Description
This man page is an adaption of the corresponding TeX Live man page.
BibTeX reads the top-level auxiliary
(.aux) file that was output during the running of
miktex-latex(1)
miktex-tex(1)
and creates a bibliography (.bbl) file that will
be
incorporated into the document on subsequent runs of LaTeX or TeX.
BibTeX looks up, in bibliographic database
(.bib) files specified by the \bibliography command, the entries specified by
the \cite and \nocite commands in the LaTeX or TeX source
file. It formats the information from those entries according to
instructions in a bibliography style (.bst) file
(specified by the \bibliographystyle
command, and it outputs the results to the .bbl
file.
The LaTeX reference manual explains what a LaTeX source file
must contain to work with BibTeX. Appendix B of the manual
describes the format of the .bib files. The
BibTeXing document describes extensions and
details of this format, and it gives other useful hints for using
BibTeX.
