NAME

       pbibtex, upbibtex - make a (Japanese) bibliography for (La)TeX

SYNOPSIS

       pbibtex [options] auxname[.aux]

DESCRIPTION

       pBibTeX  (pbibtex)  is a modified version of BibTeX for Japanese handling.  It sorts entries according to
       code points in EUC-JP.  Also, a new built-in function is.kanji.str$ which determines whether an entry  is
       outside ASCII is introduced.

       upBibTeX  (upbibtex)  is  a  modified version of pBibTeX, which sorts entries according to code points in
       Unicode.

Extensions to Bibliography Style Functions

       A new built-in function is available,  and  some  other  functions  are  modified  to  simplify  Japanese
       handling.

       is.kanji.str$
            [New feature] Pops the top (string) literal to see if it contains any non-ASCII characters. Pushes 1
            if it contains at least one, 0 if not.

       substring$
            Modified to avoid dividing a character string in the middle of a multibyte character.

       text.prefix$
            Similar modification to substring$ described above.

       add.period$
            Modified  to  prevent  appending  "."  after Japanese punctuations corresponding to "!", "?" and "."
            (e.g. U+FF01, U+FF1F, U+3002 and U+FF0E).

       format.name$
            Modified to accept Japanese zenkaku ideographic space (U+3000)  for  names  displayed  in  Japanese.
            Also modified to recognize Japanese commas (U+3001 and U+FF0C) similar to "and" between names.

AUTHORS

       Japanese  version  of  BibTeX  was originally developed by Shouichi Matsui as JBibTeX until 1991.  It was
       developed to behave  consistently  with  NTT  JTeX  in  handling  legacy  Japanese  encodings.   The  old
       documentations  jbibtex.pdf,  jbtxdoc.tex,  jbtxhak.tex  (all  available  in  TeX Live) describe Japanese
       handling capability and some additional notes of JBibTeX.

       Current (u)pBibTeX is a forked version of JBibTeX, and has replaced the encoding conversion routine  with
       one  that is compatible with (u)pTeX community edition using the ptexenc library.  Note that descriptions
       of encodings in the old documentations j*.pdf (especially Section 3.3 of jbibtex.pdf, such as BIBTERMCODE
       and BIBFILECODE) are incorrect anymore.
