New on CTAN: ltb2bib

Laurent Bartholdi submitted the ltb2bib package. Version number: 0.01 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: converts amsrefs' .ltb bibliographical databases to BibTeX format Announcement text:

---

This package implements a LaTeX command that converts an amsrefs bibliographical database (.ltb) to a BibTeX bibliographical database (.bib). The typical usage is to run LaTeX on a document such as \documentclass{article} \usepackage{ltb2bib} \begin{document} \writebib{bblsource}{bibdest} \end{document} This will convert the bibliographical entries in bblsource.ltb to BibTeX format, and write them to bibdest.bib. This will convert the bibliographical entries in bblsource.ltb to BibTeX format, and write them to bibdest.bib. ltb2bib is the reverse of the "amsxport" option in amsrefs. Typical uses are: * produce bib entries for some publishers which don't accept amsrefs (Taylor & Francis, for example); * import an ltb database in a database management program, e.g. for sorting; * access one's ltb database within emacs's RefTeX mode.
