Can generalised continued fractions always be written so that they are simple?

Can every generalised continued fraction be written in simple continued fraction form? If not, how else does one represent a generalised continued fraction using the standard $[a_0;a_1,a_2,\ldots]$ notation when there are $b_1,b_2,\ldots$ to consider?

How does one represent ...
There is this notation $$ a_0 + \underset{k=1}{\overset{\infty}{\sf K}} \frac{b_k}{a_k} = a_0 + \cfrac{b_1}{a_1 + \cfrac{b_2}{a_2 + \cfrac{b_3}{a_3 + \cfrac{b_4\;\;}{{\ddots}}}}}. $$
