Jesus M. Castagnetto (http://pear.php.net/user/jmcastagnetto) has commented on the proposal for Structures::Structures_BibTex. Comment: The parsing still needs some work. It can parse the example you put in your discussion about BibTex parsing, but it fails with sample files that come with the Latex/BibTex distribution (the TeTex package in most Linux distributions). Using the files listed below your parser gives errors of unbalanced parenthesis (do you mean braces?): /usr/share/doc/texmf/bibtex/base/btxdoc.bib /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bib/base/test.bib /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bib/base/xampl.bib /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bib/ams/mrabbrev.bib The latter is a BibTex file with only abbreviations, so it is a good test for that bit. The xampl.bib contains crossreferences (among other things). With other files, it does work fine (for example one from an R extension: /usr/lib/R/site-library/mvtnorm/doc/litdb.bib) Overall it is shaping well, but it still needs things like, mentioning the line or entry where a fatal error happens in the error message, and better parsing.
