Could anyone of the bibtex users here add a little 5 line tutorial on how
to use bibtex (just few lines to get me started)? I never used bibtex,
but I'd want to support it in org-info.js and therefore need to create
testfiles.

(Ignore this mail if just another section is added to the resulting
XHTML)

Thanks and best regards,

   Sebastian
