9 mentioned many times in these help files. <em>Bibtex</em> is a
10 utility for the generation of bibliographic references in LaTeX

12 is also used with CiteMaker, a utility for bibliography
13 generation in Adobe FrameMaker.</p>
15 <p>JabRef is is a program for working with <em>bibtex</em>
16 databases. The program uses no internal file format, which
17 means you normally load and save your databases directly in the
18 <em>bibtex</em> .bib format. However, you can also import
19 bibliography databases in a number of other formats into
22 <p>JabRef provides sorting and searching functionality for
23 getting the overview of your databases' contents. You can
24 easily add new database entries without having to remember what
25 information is required, and <em>bibtex</em> keys can be
26 autogenerated. JabRef will be most useful for those using
27 <em>bibtex</em> or CiteMaker, but may also be of use to those
28 using other referencing systems or simply wanting to organize
29 their literature sources.</p>
