For referencing in my LaTeX documents, I use the thebibliography
command. However most of the times I find the information of my citations in BibTeX format. Manually editing BibTeX file to convert them to \bibitem
is exhausting. I want to know if there is any method for importing a bibTeX file or a command which could understand the text structure of a BibTeX file in LaTeX?

If you really want to follow this way, you can create a new document, let's say test.tex
with the following contents:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{biblio}
\end{document}
where biblio
is the name of your .bib
file.
Then run
pdflatex test
bibtex test
pdflatex test
pdflatex test
At this point, open the file test.bbl
and copy its contents to your original .tex
file
biblatex
to manage your bibliography on LaTeX site.biblatex
or BibTex? After compiling withbibtex
you have file with the extensionbbl
. This file contains the environmentthebibliography
.filecontents
. So you can have the contents of your bib-file in your single file and you can edit the entries.
