text2bib is a PHP script for converting references to BibTeX format. (It is currently implemented at http://theory.economics.utoronto.ca/text2bib.) It aims to convert accurately references in any reasonable format. Here are three examples of references that it converts correctly: Arrow, K. J., L. Hurwicz, and H. Uzawa (1961), "Constraint qualifications in maximization problems," Naval Research Logistics Quarterly 8, 175-191. Arrow, K. J., L. Hurwicz, and H. Uzawa [1961], ``Constraint qualifications in maximization problems,'' {\it Naval Research Logistics Quarterly}, 8(2), 175-191. Arrow, K. J., L. Hurwicz, \& H. Uzawa. Constraint qualifications in maximization problems. \textit{Naval Research Logistics Quarterly}, 8(2): 175--191. 1961.
