BIB2GLS(1) bib2gls BIB2GLS(1)
SYNOPSIS
bib2gls [option]+ auxfile
DESCRIPTION
bib2gls is designed to work with the glossaries-extra LaTeX package.
(The record package option is required.) The application performs two
functions in one: (1) selects entries from .bib files according to
information found in the auxfile (similar to bibtex); (2)
hierarchically sorts entries and collates location lists (similar to
makeindex and xindy). The .aux extension may be omitted from auxfile.
The auxfile (and corresponding .log file) should either be in the
current directory or in the directory specified by --dir. Bib files can
either be relative to the directory the auxfile is in or in a location
that can be found by kpsewhich.
OPTIONS
--help or -h
Display help message and exit.
--version or -v
Display version information and exit.
--debug [level]
Switch on the debug mode (optionally at the given level, which
should be a non-negative integer). If level is 0 then the debug
mode is switched off.
--no-debug (or --nodebug)
Switch off debug mode. (Equivalent to --debug 0)
--verbose
Switch on verbose mode.
--no-verbose (or --noverbose)
Switch off verbose mode. (Some messages will still be written to
STDOUT.)
--silent
Only display error messages. All other messages are just written to
the transcript file.
--locale lang (or -l lang)
Use language resource file for lang (which should be an IETF locale
tag).
--log-file file (or -t <file>)
Set the transcript file.
--dir directory (or -d <directory>)
Files are relative to directory. (This doesn't change the current
working directory.)
--tex-encoding name
Set the character encoding for the output files. This overrides the
setting given in auxfile.
--interpret
Use the TeX parser library to interpret known (La)TeX commands
(default).
--no-interpret
Don't try interpreting (La)TeX commands.
--break-space
Interpret "~" (tilde) character and "\nobreakspace" as a normal
space.
--no-break-space
Interpret "~" (tilde) and "\nobreakspace" as a non-breaking space
(default).
--cite-as-record
Treat "\citation" as an ignored record.
--no-cite-as-record
Don't check for instances of "\citation" in the .aux file
(default).
--warn-non-bib-fields
Warn if internal non-bib fields are found in the .bib file.
--no-warn-non-bib-fields
Don't warn if internal non-bib fields are found in the .bib file.
The use of these internal fields can cause unexpected results, so
only use this option if you have taken appropriate precautions.
--warn-unknown-entry-types
Warn if any unknown entry types are found in the .bib file.
--no-warn-unknown-entry-types
Don't warn if any unknown entry types are found in the .bib file.
--merge-wrglossary-records
Merge an entry's wrglossary records for the same page locations.
(For use with the indexcounter package option.)
--no-merge-wrglossary-records
Don't merge an entry's wrglossary records.
--collapse-same-location-range
Collapse an explicit range that has a duplicate start and end
location into a normal record (default).
--no-collapse-same-location-range
Don't collapse an explicit range that has a duplicate start and end
location into a normal record.
--retain-formats list
Indicates which location formats should always be retained even if
it causes a partial duplicate. Only exact duplicates will be
merged.
--no-retain-formats
Normal location merging rules apply (default).
--merge-nameref-on rule
Rule for merging locations created with the record=nameref package
option (requires glossaries-extra.sty version 1.37+). The rule may
be one of: hcounter, href, title or location.
--force-cross-resource-refs or -x
Force cross-resource referencing mode on.
--no-force-cross-resource-refs
Don't force cross-resource referencing mode on (default).
--support-unicode-script
Text superscript ("\textsuperscript") or subscripts
("\textsubscript") will use Unicode superscript/subscript
characters if available. For example, "\textsuperscript{2}" will
be converted to U+00B2 (superscript two).
--no-support-unicode-script
Text superscript ("\textsuperscript") or subscripts
("\textsubscript") won't be converted to Unicode
superscript/subscript characters. For example,
"\textsuperscript{2}" will be converted to "<sup>2</sup>" and the
markup will be stripped leaving just the character 2.
--packages list (or -p list)
Instruct the TeX parser library to pretend the packages listed in
list have been used by the document. Note that there's only a
limited number of packages supported by the TeX parser library.
This option has a cumulative action so --packages wasysym,pifont is
the same as --packages wasysym --packages pifont.
You can find out the list of supported packages with
--list-known-packages.
--custom-packages list
Instruct the TeX parser library to attempt to parse the packages
listed in list. This is intended for simple custom packages that
don't contain complex code.
--ignore-packages list (or -k list)
Don't parse the log file for the packages listed in list. Note that
--packages overrides this option, so if the same package is listed
in both --ignore-packages and --packages then the interpreter will
check if it's supported. This option has a cumulative action. Only
known packages may be included in list.
--list-known-packages
Lists all the packages that have are known to the TeX parser
library and then exits (with exit code 0). Any of the listed
packages may be used in --packages or --ignore-packages.
--mfirstuc-protection fields|all (or -u fields|all)
Insert an empty group if fields start with certain problematic
commands to protect against case-changing commands like "\Gls".
The default is to do this for all fields. To do this for only a
subset of fields, set fields to a comma-separated list of fields
(e.g. name,short,long). The keyword all indicates all fields.
--no-mfirstuc-protection
Switch off the auto-insertion of an empty group for all fields.
--mfirstuc-math-protection
Switch on the auto-insertion of an empty group for math-shift
("$"). This option will be overridden by --no-mfirstuc-protection.
--no-mfirstuc-math-protection
Switch off the auto-insertion of an empty group for math-shift
("$").
--nested-link-check list|none
Check each field listed in list for potentially problematic nested
link text. (Default list: name, text, plural, first, firstplural,
short, shortplural, long, longplural, symbol).
If none, disable check.
--no-nested-link-check
Don't check for potentially problematic nested link text.
(Equivalent to --nested-link-check none)
--shortcuts option
Check for the shortcut commands when searching for dependencies.
Permitted values of option: acronyms (or acro), ac, abbreviations
(or abbr), all (or true), none (or false). This overrides the
setting given in auxfile.
--map-format key:value[,key:value]* (or -m key:value[,key:value]*)
Set location format mappings.
--group or -g
Add group field to entries.
--no-group
Don't add group field to entries (default).
--record-count or -c
Add record count fields to entries.
--no-record-count
Don't add record count field to entries (default). This option
automatically implements --no-record-count-unit.
--record-count-unit or -n
Add unit record count fields to entries. This option automatically
implements --record-count.
--no-record-count-unit
Don't add unit record count field to entries (default).
--trim-fields
Trim leading and trailing spaces from all fields. This option
cancels --trim-only-fields and --no-trim-fields.
--trim-only-fields list
Trim leading and trailing spaces from only the listed fields. This
option is cumulative but is cancelled by --trim-fields and
--no-trim-fields. This option may not be used with
--trim-except-fields.
--trim-except-fields list
Trim leading and trailing spaces from all fields except those
listed. This option is cumulative but is cancelled by
--trim-fields and --no-trim-fields. This option may not be used
with --trim-only-fields.
--no-trim-fields
Don't trim leading and trailing spaces from fields (default). This
option cancels --trim-only-fields and --trim-fields.
--expand-fields
Don't write "\glsnoexpandfields" to the .glstex file.
--no-expand-fields
Write "\glsnoexpandfields" to the .glstex file (default).
--provide-glossaries
Write "\provideignoredglossary*" to the .glstex file to provide
unknown glossaries.
--no-provide-glossaries
Don't write "\provideignoredglossary*" to the .glstex file to
provide unknown glossaries except in documented situations (master,
secondary and trigger-type resource options). This setting is the
default.
