F. Beebe's BibTeX and Scribe bibliography pretty-printer and syntax checker. ### Projektgeschichte The official manual describes bibclean as a program that pretty-prints BibTeX input, checks brace balance and bibliography-entry syntax, and normalizes files so later filters and Emacs BibTeX support can process them predictably. The older 1.05 manual page is dated 1992, while later official distribution pages list many releases through the 3.x series. The project predates today's GitHub-first release culture: the authoritative surface is a University of Utah web/FTP distribution with tar, zip, jar, zoo, checksum, and signed checksum files. The man page and distribution index document a long-running academic Unix tool rather than a modern hosted repository. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The input metadata lists packages in Homebrew, Debian, MacPorts, Nix, and Ubuntu. Its packaging story follows TeX infrastructure habits: source archives and checksums upstream, distro formulas downstream, and command-line users integrating it into bibliography cleanup scripts. ### Wie es verwendet wird bibclean formats each BibTeX entry into a consistent structure, expands tabs, splits long strings, normalizes author/editor names, checks CODEN/ISBN/ISSN values, and can use initialization files for options and field/pattern validation rules. It searches initialization files through the executable PATH, BIBINPUTS, explicit -init-file arguments, and file-specific .ini files. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren bibclean is package-nerd archaeology in useful form: a specialized text normalizer with decades-old Unix documentation, multiple archive formats, checksums, and a job that still matters to anyone maintaining large BibTeX corpora. It is small, scriptable, and very much of the 'do one thing well' lineage. ### Zeitleiste - 1992: Version 1.05 manual page is dated 01 August 1992. - 1998: Version 2.11.4 manual page is dated 09 May 1998. - 2003-2023: The official distribution index records continued updates over two decades. - 2020: The 3.x HTML manual material records version 3.05 dated 18 May 2020. - 2023: The official distribution page lists bibclean 3.07 archives and a May 2023 update. ### Related projects - Related tools include BibTeX, Scribe bibliography files, Emacs BibTeX support, and companion bibliography filters named in the manual such as bibcheck, bibdup, bibextract, bibindex, bibjoin, biblook, biborder, bibsort, citefind, and citetags. ### Quellen - - - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
