require('reflib.php');
$lib = new RefLib();
$lib->SetContentsFile('tests/data/endnote.xml');
print_r($lib->refs); // Outputs all processed refs in an associative array
require('reflib.php');
$lib = new RefLib();
$lib->SetContentsFile('tests/data/endnote.xml'); // Read in content (or populate $lib->refs yourself)
$lib->GetContents('EndNote File.xml'); // Output file to the browser
require('reflib.php');
$lib = new RefLib();
$lib->SetContentsFile('tests/data/endnote.xml'); // Read in content (or populate $lib->refs yourself)
$lib->GetContents('EndNote File.ris'); // Output file to the browser in RIS format
