---

Beastie is an experiment in parsing and processing BibTeX files * A parser for .bib files, amongst others. * An implementation of the .bst BibTeX Style Language. * That .bst implementation is hosted in a dialect of Scheme, extended with suitable parsing and processing primitives. The goals of this project are: * to explore ways of processing .bib files which aren't exclusively based on .bst; * to provide a second implementation of the BST language; and * to initiate some sort of conversation about BibTeX standards, broadly construed. There was an article about Beastie v0.12 in TUGBoat, 46:2, pp.220–227 (2025), doi:10.47397/tb/46-2/tb143gray-beastie.
