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.
