+<h3>Reconstructing <code>.bib</code> files</h3>
+<p/>Perhaps you&rsquo;ve lost the <code>.bib</code> file you generated your document from,
+or have been sent a document without one. Or even, you&rsquo;ve realised
+the error of building a substantial document without the benefit of
+BibTeX...
+<p/>The <i>Perl</i> script, <i>tex2bib</i> makes a reasonable job
+of regenerating <code>.bib</code> files from <code>thebibliography</code>
+environments, provided that the original (whether automatically or
+manually generated) doesn&rsquo;t deviate too far from the &ldquo;standard&rdquo;
+styles.
+<p/>You are well-advised to check the output of the script. While it will
+not usually destroy information, it can quite reasonably mislabel it.
+<p/>Documentation of the script is to be found in the file <i>tex2bib.readme</i>
