convertgls2bib1

General options

--help or -h

Display help message and exit.

--version or -v

Display version information and exit.

--silent or --quiet or -q

Suppress all messages except for errors.

--verbose

Switch on verbose mode.

--no-verbose

Switch off verbose mode.

--debug [n]

Display debugging messages.

--debug-mode setting

May be used instead of --debug where the level number is difficult to remember. Value same as for bib2gls's --debug-mode option.

--no-debug

Switch off debugging mode. Equivalent to --debug 0.

--log-file filename

Log messages to given file. Intended primarily for debugging messages so enabling debug mode will automatically create a transcript file, but otherwise a file won't be created unless this option is used.

Encosing and localisation options

--texenc name

Set the character encoding to name for the input .tex files.

--bibenc name

Set the character encoding to name for the output .bib files.

--locale lang tag

Use the language resource files associated with the given language tag lang tag. If there isn't an appropriate file, the en (English) file will be used.

Filtering options

--preamble-only or -p

Only parse the document preamble. That is, stop parsing if "\begin{document}" encountered.

--no-preamble-only

Parse the entire document (default).

--ignore-fields list or -f list

Ignore all the fields in the comma-separated list. If the list includes sort, type or category it will automatically implement the corresponding --ignore-sort, --ignore-type or --ignore-category option. Each item in the list should identify the field by its original case-sensitive key.

This option is cumulative.

--no-ignore-fields

Cancels the effect of --ignore-fields.

--ignore-category

Omit the category field. Default if --split-on-category.

--no-ignore-category

Don't omit the category field. Default unless --split-on-category.

--ignore-type

Omit the type field. Default if --split-on-type.

--no-ignore-type

Don't omit the type field. Default unless --split-on-type.

--ignore-sort

Ignore the sort field (default).

--no-ignore-sort

Don't ignore the sort field.

Output file options

--overwrite

Overwrite existing .bib files. Default unless --split-on-type used.

--no-overwrite

Don't overwrite existing .bib files. Default if --split-on-type used.

--split-on-type or -t

Split the entries into separate files according to the type field. This option automatically implements --ignore-type and --no-overwrite.

--no-split-on-type

Don't split the entries into separate files according to the type field (default).

--split-on-category or -c

Split the entries into separate files according to the category field. This option automatically implements --ignore-category and --no-overwrite.

--no-split-on-category

Don't split the entries into separate files according to the category field (default).

Adjustment options

--absorb-see

Absorb "\glssee" and "\glsxtrindexseealso" into the data (default).

--no-absorb-see

Don't absorb "\glssee" and "\glsxtrindexseealso" into the data.

--index-conversion or -i

Any entries that would normally be converted to @entry that don't have a description or just have the description set to "\nopostdesc" or "\glsxtrnopostpunc" will be converted to @index and the description field will be omitted.

--no-index-conversion

Don't use @index instead of @entry if the description is empty or just "\nopostdesc" or "\glsxtrnopostpunc" (default).

--space-sub value or -s value

Substitute spaces in labels with value.

--field-map mappings or -m mappings

Add source key to destination field label mapping. The argument should be a comma-separated list of src-field=dest-field pairs. This option is cumulative.

The deprecated --key-map is a synonym of --field-map.

--no-field-map

Cancels all mappings applied with --field-map. The deprecated --no-key-map is a synonym of --field-map.

--internal-field-map mappings

Adds the given mappings to the default set of internal field to key mappings. (For example, desc is the internal field label of the description key.) This option is cumulative.

This option is only needed if the internal field label is supplied in the argument of command such as "\glssetnoexpandfield".
