Re: [Jabref-users] New field formatter

[Christopher O. <oe...@oe...>]

Hi Fabrice!
   so I finally have the formatter done to fix your name problem. But I =
 =

still have questions:

the AuthorLastFirst formatter will also output the JR. part. What is  =

supposed to happen with this

von Neumann, Jr., John and Mike van Eik and Oezbek, III, Christopher

should become:

von Neumann John, van Eik, Mike and Oezbek, III, Christopher

?

I added a new field formatter which can take a parameter like this:

1@1@{vv }{ll}{ ff}@@2@1@{vv }{ll}{ ff}@2@ and {vv }{ll}{, ff}@@*@1@{vv  =

}{ll}{ ff}@2..-2@, {vv }{ll}{, ff}@-1@ and {vv }{ll}{, ff}

Which looks more complicated than it is... X-) sort of...

First split at the @@s and you get the "cases" handled of this formatter=
:

1@1@{vv }{ll}{ ff}

2@1@{vv }{ll}{ ff}@2@ and {vv }{ll}{, ff}

*@1@{vv }{ll}{ ff}@2..-2@, {vv }{ll}{, ff}@-1@ and {vv }{ll}{, ff}";

The first case handles 1 author, the second 2 authors and the last all t=
he  =

rest.

In the first case the first author is formatted using "{vv }{ll}{ ff}"  =

which is standard Bibtex.sty notation for "von Last First".

The second case also needs to handle the second author

The last case handles the first author specially then all authors from t=
he  =

second to the second but last (-2) get a comma and lastly the last autho=
r  =

(-1) has the and.

How to use this in your export layout?

Go to preferences "Name format" and enter a new name formatter that  =

contains the complicated string above.

The you can use it in your export filters like any other format:

\field[myNiceFormatter,HTMLChars...]{author}

I also added my implementation of the Bibtex-bst processor to JabRef.  =

Technically JabRef can now interpret Bibtex-bst files for sorting and  =

printing bibliographies (but those are outputted as TeX unfortunately an=
d  =

the NameFormatter is probably the most useful tool).

Greetings,
   Christopher
