Is the conversion process lossy?

Most conversions are high-fidelity, but converting modern formats to older ones (like BibTeX) may result in mapping modern types like 'dataset' or 'software' to '@misc'. The tool provides warnings for these cases.

Can I sort the bibliography during conversion?

Yes, the skill includes a --sort flag that allows you to automatically organize entries by their ID during the conversion process.

Which bibliography formats are supported?

The skill supports five primary formats: BibTeX (.bib), BibLaTeX (.bib), CSL JSON (.json), RIS (.ris), and EndNote XML (.xml).

Does it handle special LaTeX characters?

Yes, it automatically handles LaTeX special character encoding and decoding (e.g., converting ä to \"{a}) and sophisticated name parsing for author particles like 'von' or 'de'.
