Ebib is a BibTeX database manager that runs in GNU Emacs and
XEmacs. With Ebib, you can create and manage .bib-files, all within
Emacs. It supports @string and @preamble definitions, multi-line field
values, searching, and integration with Emacs' (La)TeX mode.
Ebib provides the standard capabilities that one would expect from a
BibTeX database manager: .bib files can be opened, modified (adding,
deleting, modifying entries), searched, and saved. Obviously, it is also
possible to start a new database from scratch. A nice property is the
ability to copy single entries to another .bib file: this makes it
possible to create a new .bib file from a subset of the entries of an
existing database. This can be useful e.g. when you want to create a
.bib file for a paper containing only the works cited in that paper.
This package contains the files common to both the GNU Emacs and XEmacs
Ebib packages. You need to install the emacs-ebib and/or the xemacs-ebib
package to use Ebib.
