  • BibTeX

    BibTeX is reference management software for formatting lists of references. The BibTeX tool is typically used together with the LaTeX document preparation system. Within the typesetting system, its name is styled as {\mathrm{B{\scriptstyle{IB}} \! T\!_{\displaystyle E} \! X}}. The name is a portmanteau of the abbreviation of "bibliography" and TeX.

    BibTeX makes it easy to cite sources in a consistent manner, by separating bibliographic information from the presentation of this information, similarly to the separation of content and presentation/style supported by LaTeX itself.

    Basic structure

    In the words of the program’s author:

    Here’s how BibTeX works. It takes as input

  • an .aux file produced by LaTeX on an earlier run;
  • a .bst file (the style file), which specifies the general reference-list style and specifies how to format individual entries, and which is written by a style designer [..] in a special-purpose language [..], and
  • .bib file(s) constituting a database of all reference-list entries the user might ever hope to use.
  • BibTeX chooses from the .bib file(s) only those entries specified by the .aux file (that is, those given by LaTeX's \cite or \nocite commands), and creates as output a .bbl file containing these entries together with the formatting commands specified by the .bst file [..]. LaTeX will use the .bbl file, perhaps edited by the user, to produce the reference list.

    Bib (garment)

    A bib is a garment worn hanging from the neck on the chest to protect clothing from spilled food. Bibs are frequently used by children, especially infants, but also by some adults. Bibs are also worn when consuming certain "messy" foods, such as lobster.

    Etymology

    The word, reported in English since 1580, stems from a verb bibben "to drink" (c.1380), from Latin bibere, either because it was worn while drinking or because it "soaked up" spills.

    Other uses

    Part of garment

    The term bib may also refer to the part of a garment that covers the chest. For instance, an apron that covers the chest may be referred to as a bib apron. The part of a jumper dress or of an overall that covers the chest may also be referred to as a bib.

    Sports

    In sport, it may refer to a garment that used by a team to identify themselves on the field of play (a jersey), or to identify a participant in a competition with a start number ("bib number"). Powerlifters wear a bib benchpress shirt across their chest area to help them lift more weight. In Netball, bibs are used by the umpire to identify players' positions so it can be determined who is within their allowed area.

    I gave all i had to give, all that one could ever give at all, But you couldn't care but nothing but yourself and built your wall
    Too late, too late, too late... (you had my whole and more)
    I need you to show some feeling if you will dare, But you were blind and seemed to just not care dont care, dont care.
