[comp.text] BibTeX - Choosing all the items in a .bib database

akk2@ur-tut (Atul Kacker) (07/12/88)

Is there an easy way to create a bibliography using BibTeX, such that all
entries in a .bib file would be included, _without_ explicitly \cite'ing
or \nocite'ing all the entries ?

e.g.

\documentstyle{report}
\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{database1.bib}
\nocite{_all_}
\end{document}

Note: Here, if I want all entries in database1.bib to be included in the
source file that gets created, I have to replace _all_ by ref1,ref2,ref3,...
where ref* are the keywords for each reference.

I would prefer not having to do this.  Any suggestions ?

Get bibtex 0.99c. You can do \cite{*} or \nocite{*}.
