Does it handle LaTeX special characters?

It extracts the raw field values as-is. The AI can then interpret or clean LaTeX escapes like \'{e} into proper Unicode.

How many entries can it handle?

It caps the output at 200 entries to protect AI context. For larger bibliographies, ask the AI to filter by type or year.

Can it detect duplicate references?

The parser extracts all entries. You can then ask the AI: 'Find duplicate titles or DOIs in my bibliography.'
