bib2gls
package.
Version: 1.0 2017-09-09
License: gpl3+
Summary description: Command line application to convert .bib files to glossaries-extra.sty resource files
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Java command line application that may be used to extract
glossary information stored in a .bib file and convert it into
glossary entry definition commands. This application should be used
with glossaries-extra.sty's 'record' package option. It performs
two functions in one:
- selects entries according to records found in the .aux file
(similar to bibtex)
- hierarchically sorts entries and collates location lists
(similar to makeindex or xindy)
The glossary entries can then be managed in a system such as
JabRef, and only the entries that are actually required will be
defined, reducing the resources required by TeX.
The supplementary application convertgls2bib can be used
to convert existing .tex files containing definitions
(
ewglossaryentry etc) to the .bib format required by bib2gls.
