Examples

The repository includes example TeX files and generated BibTeX fixtures under examples/.

InspireHEP Example

examples/inspire-main.tex cites the first LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave detection paper by arXiv ID and DOI:

\cite{1602.03837}
\cite{10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102}

Generate its bibliography with:

cargo run -- --fix --provider inspire --no-backup examples/inspire-main.tex

Because the TeX file contains:

\bibliography{inspire-main}

the output is discovered automatically as examples/inspire-main.bib.

NASA ADS Example

examples/main.tex cites the same paper with three identifier styles:

\cite{1602.03837}
\cite{10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102}
\cite{2016PhRvL.116f1102A}

Generate its bibliography with:

cargo run -- --fix --provider ads --no-backup examples/main.tex

This writes examples/main.bib.

The example also defines \prl:

\providecommand{\prl}{Phys. Rev. Lett.}

That keeps the document self-contained when ADS returns journal = {\prl}.

Explicit Output Files

The example commands can also write to ad hoc output files:

cargo run -- --fix --provider inspire --output examples/generated-inspire.bib --no-backup examples/inspire-main.tex
cargo run -- --fix --provider ads --output examples/generated-ads.bib --no-backup examples/main.tex

Those generated-*.bib files are ignored by Git because they are demonstration outputs rather than canonical fixtures.

Compile Smoke Test

The examples are covered by integration tests:

cargo test --test examples

The default tests verify that each checked-in bibliography contains every citekey referenced by its TeX file.

There is also an ignored LaTeX compile smoke test:

cargo test --test examples -- --ignored

This requires latexmk, pdflatex, and bibtex to be installed locally. It is ignored by default because the normal CI matrix does not install a TeX distribution.
