It has been enhanced by adding\nthe following features:\n\n- \"big\" (32-bit) and customisable capacity\n\n- flexible support for non-English languages using 8-bit character sets\n\nBibTeX8 accepts 8-bit characters in its input files, and writes 8-bit characters to its out‐\nput files. The character set is defined by an external configuration file --- the Codepage\nand Sort order (\"CS\") file. By default, it reads a specific CS file \"88591lat.csf\", which\ndefines ISO 8859-1 character set and its alphabetical sorting order including accented char‐\nacters.\n", "subsections": [] }, "OPTIONS": { "content": "", "subsections": [ { "name": "-? --help", "content": "display some brief help text.\n", "flag": "-?", "long": "--help" }, { "name": "-7 --traditional", "content": "operate in the original 7-bit mode, no CS file used.
