bib2tex: Converting bibtex to bibitems
From https://texblog.org/2011/12/12/bib2tex-converting-bibtex-to-bibitems/
There is an easy way of converting references by making use of the bibtex-command. It does exactly what we needed in the background. Typesetting the document once (latex) and generating the references with the bibtex-command will create a metafile called “document.bbl”, containing all the referenced bibitems in -format.
latex document
bibtex document
Finally, just copy and paste the content of the *.bbl file into the document, overwriting
\bibliography{<document>}
.
Note: The bibitem
above was created using:
`\usepackage``[numbers, square, comma, sort&compress]{natbib}`
