This package is intended to allow for the storage and management of
latex glossary terms
in standard reference management packages (such as Zotero),
by converting between .bib
files
and .tex
files containing \newglossaryentry
or \newacronym
definitions.
To date the only other way to achieve this is via bib2gls. However, it implementation is somewhat complex, and the item types it uses are not supported by Zotero.
In bib2glossary
, the user may override the default relationships between
reference item fields and glossary term parameters,
by supplying a JSON file, e.g.:
{
"abbreviation": "abbrevfield"
}
The defaults are taken from the Dictionary Entry
type in Zotero.

:
Parameter | Field |
---|---|
misc | @type |

For \newglossaryentry
:
Parameter | Field |
---|---|
misc | @type |
name | journal* |

* This shows as 'Dictionary Title' in Zotero
** This shows as 'Place' in Zotero
[Note: The title
field is not used, since it is usely used to generate the key.]
