I have a .bib
file that contains information about some of my papers. I also have a .bbl
file, automatically produced by BibTeX, that contains the compiled information (\bibitem{}
series) of another set of papers.
How can I use both .bib
and .bbl
in one LaTeX document? If I simply use \input
for the BBL, the numberings of references (and even themselves) will not be correct. A solution that let's me decompile the .bbl
also works.
In this very case, using .bbl
is no problem because it's in the bibliography style I am using. Also, all references in .bbl
will be used in the file document.
Best Answer
I would forget about the
bbl
until the paper is just about finished, then generate abbl
from thebib
one last time and merge bothbbl
files by hand, hand-adjusting the numbers.The citations will be automatically correct as they refer to the
\bibitem
commands in thebbl
.
