Introduction
------------

	This library contains a BibTeX parser that is able to read all the entries 
	from a given BibTeX file or string. The output is a simple array with all 
	the relevant information. String/Macro entries are automatically replaced 
	and are not part of the output. Comments and preambles are currently also 
	ignored.
	The parser is based on the grammar description of btparse 
	(http://search.cpan.org/~gward/btparse-0.34/doc/bt_language.pod) and 
	consists of a lexer, a parser and some helper classes.

Features
--------

	* Reads BibTeX from file and string.
	* Extracts @string macros and replaces them accordingly.
	* Correctly parses @comment{...} sections and ignores everything in between.
	* Possibility to split author name into forename, von, surname and suffix.
	* Returns all entries in a simple array structure.

Usage
-----

	All you have to do is to create an new instance of 'BibtexParser'. On
	this object you can call 'parseString' and/or 'parseFile'.
	Below is a short example:
	
	<code>
	$bibtex = "@article{key, author = {John Doe}, month=sep}";
	$file = "path/publications.bib";
	$parser = new BibtexParser(array(
		'jan' => 'january',
		'feb' => 'february',
		'mar' => 'march',
		'apr' => 'april',
		'may' => 'may',
		'jun' => 'june',
		'jul' => 'july',
		'aug' => 'august',
		'sep' => 'september',
		'oct' => 'october',
		'nov' => 'november',
		'dec' => 'december'
	));
	$entries_string = $parser->parseString($bibtex);
	$entries_file = $parser->parseFile($file);
	print_r($entries_string);
	print_r($entries_file);
	
	// Parse person string
	$author = "van der Doe, Jr., John";
	$name =  BibtexParser::parserPerson($author);
	print_r($name);
	</code>
