anystyle help find

NAME
    find - Find and extract references from text documents

SYNOPSIS
    anystyle [global options] find [command options] input [output]

DESCRIPTION
    This manual page documents the AnyStyle `find' command. AnyStyle `find'
    analyzes PDF or text documents and extracts all references it finds.

    The input argument can be a single PDF or text document, or a folder
    containing multiple documents. The (optional) output argument specifies
    the folder where the results shall be saved; if no output folder is
    specified, results will be saved in the folder containing the input.

    AnyStyle `find' supports the following formats:
        bib     BibTeX (references only);
        csl     CSL/JSON (references only);
        json    AnyStyle JSON (references only);
        ref     One reference per line, suitable for parser input;
        txt     Plain text document;
        ttx     Tagged document format, used for training the finder model;
        xml     References only, XML, suitable for training the parser model.

    You can specify multiple output formats, separated by commas.

    Anlyzing PDF documents currently depends on `pdftotext' which must be
    installed separately.
EXAMPLES
    anystyle -f csl,xml find thesis.pdf

    Extract references from `thesis.pdf' and save them in `thesis.csl' and
    `thesis.xml'.

    anystyle -f bib find --no-layout thesis.pdf bib

    Extract references from `thesis.pdf' in `no-layout' mode (e.g., use this
    if your document uses a multi-column layout) and save them in BibTeX in
    `./bib/thesis.bib'.

    anystyle find --crop 72 thesis.pdf -

    Extract references from `thesis.pdf' cropping away one inch (72pt) from
    each page border and print the results to STDOUT.

    anystyle find --crop 72,28 thesis.pdf -

    Extract references from `thesis.pdf' cropping away one inch (72pt) from
    each page's left and right border, approx. 1cm (28pt) from the top
    and bottom.


COMMAND OPTIONS
    -C, --crop=pt - Set cropping boundary for text extraction (default: none)
    --[no-]layout - Use layout mode for PDF text extraction (default: enabled)
    --[no-]solo   - Include references outside of reference sections
