While using rebib with a LaTeX document, one can use the following two options as per their needs :

1. Bibliography Converter

The bibliography converter will convert any LaTex or BBL file given as a path. This way, one can generate BibTeX from the embedded bibliography or BBL file.

rebib::biblio_converter(path_to_your_file)
#> working directory : /tmp/RtmpsrzBoI/exampledir/standalone
#> bib entries : 6
#> Written BibTeX file : /tmp/RtmpsrzBoI/exampledir/standalone/sample.bib

2. Bibliography Aggregator

The bibliography aggregator will append the existing BibTeX file with bibliographic entries extracted from the LaTeX or BBL file.

The Flow Chart here visualizes the sequence.
