File extension bbl information
This file extension is used to identify the TeX/BibTeX Bibliographic Reference Files. This file is actually an add-on that is used by the TeX technical, a writing typesetting application that specifically allows users to do typesetting work. This typesetting is usually done on bibliographies of reports and technical documents that are associated with this application. Without the installation of this add-on, the application would fail to recognize these files and will therefore not provide a default application. This means that the BBL file extensions will not be recognized by the operating system as valid files.
