LaTeX Bibitem Styler
====================
This program allows you to automatically sort `\bibitems` by citation order or alphabetically.
### Description
There's a major problem in LaTeX bibliography styling/sorting when not using BibTeX.
When using BibTeX, one can specify a `\bibliographystyle`, but if we're generating our bibliography from plain `\bibitem` entries, using the `\thebibliography` command, there's no way of specifying the output style.
Given a main `.tex` file and a bibliography `.tex` file (containing only bibitems), the _LaTeX-BibitemStyler_ will go through all the input `.tex` files of your project, collect the cites in order of appearance, and allow you to generate a new bibliography `.tex` file while specifying one of the following output styles.
- **PLAIN**.
- **ALPHA**. Alphabetical order
- **UNSRT**. Cite order of appearance
This project currently has two flavors:
- Microsoft .NET application
- Python
If you found this useful, please drop us a line! Reviews and suggestions are very welcome!
---------------------------------------
### Usage: .NET application
It’s very easy to use, just fill in the textboxes…
##### Main Tex File
The main file of your LaTeX project. I.e.: `thesis.tex`. See example below:
\documentclass[letterpaper,oneside,british,english,11pt]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\makeatletter
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}
\floatstyle{ruled}
\newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}
\floatname{algorithm}{Algorithm}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\include{titlePage}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\pagestyle{plain}
\input{abstract.tex}
\input{acknowledgements.tex}
\tableofcontents{}
\listoffigures
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\pagestyle{fancyplain}
\newpage
\input{intro.tex}
\input{chapter1.tex}
\input{chapter2.tex}
\input{chapter3.tex}
\normalsize
\nocite{*}
% ***** This is what you would usually do to include a bibliography *****
%\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
%\bibliography{biblio.bib}
% ***** But instead you must use a .tex file *****
\input{biblio.tex}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}\sf\bfseries{Bibliography}}
\end{document}
##### Biblio Filename
The LaTeX file where you’ve written your bibliography in a plain style (not a `.bib` file, it must be a `.tex` file!). I.e.: `biblio.tex`. See example below:
\begin{thebibliography}{100}
\bibitem{army0} BEN KAGE. \emph{Roomba maker iRobot also developing military robots for Pentagon}.

##### Output Filename
Name of the new bibliography file that will be generated.
##### Bibliography Style
- PLAIN. Simply rewrite the file with different preamble and postamble.
- APLHA. Generate bibliography file with cites in alphabetical order.
- UNSRT. Generate bibliography file with cites in order of appearance (goes through all your LaTeX project’s `.tex` files and fetches all cite references).
##### Preamble
You might want to change your bibliography file’s predefined preamble.
##### Postamble
You might want to change your bibliography file’s predefined postamble.
Finally, just hit **RUN!** and let the application perform its magic, it’ll be done in a second. You’ll find the newly generated bibliography file in the original file’s path.
---------------------------------------
### Usage: Python code
Run the program with command-line arguments:
- The main tex file path (use double '\' if you're on Windows)
- The input bibliography tex file name. Mind that all your latex project’s files must be in the same directory.
- The output bibliography tex file name (the name of the new bibliography file that will be generated)
- The bibliography style:
- 0: PLAIN (Original order)
- 1: ALPHA (Alphanumerical order)
- 2: UNSRT (Cite order of appearance)
Example:
python3 LaTeX-BibitemStyler.py main_file.tex bibliography_original.tex bibliography_ordered.tex 2
Then in the main tex file add
>\input{bibliography_ordered.tex}
before
>\end{document}
