BibTeX是一个Latex下使用的文献管理工具和文件格式。它包含如下的类型
@string用来定义缩写@string { foo="Mrs. Foo"}@preamble@comment是注释- 文献条目(entry)，如
@article,@book,@inproceedings等
一个文献条目(entry)包含文献类型(@类型表示)， 引用时使用的名称，及相应的子项(tag)组成
@misc{ patashnik-bibtexing,

title = "BIBTEXing",
year = "1988" }
一个子项(tag)由名称(field)，等号(=)，及后面的内容(content)组成。
- 名称(field)是忽略大小写的。
- 内容(content)部分，需要用花括号
{,}或"来表示字符串，用#来连接两个字符串Title = { {Bib}\TeX} Title = "{Bib}\TeX" Title = "{Bib}" # "\TeX"用
@string定义的缩写，只能用在连接字符串的操作中@string{btx = "{\textsc{Bib}\TeX}"} Title = btx # "ing"整数的内容(content)也可以不用
