I have two files:
- entries.bib – file with bibtex formatted entries,
- nature.bst – file with bibliography style
Is there a way to generate plain text citations from these files using command line tools?

Best Answer
You could run
latex2rtf
ortex4ht
on a tex file like this:There’re also BibHTML, BibTeX2HTML, bib2ML, bib2html.sh, bib2XHTML and probably more direct convertors that I have no experience with.
You will hardly find a script that converts to plain text directly, because most bibliography style include italic formatting, some also small caps or bold face, which are not available in plain text, but need rich text (RTF), HTML or something similar. You can easily copy and paste the results into a plain text editor, though, or adapt the scripts (since some are reasonably simple or flexible).
