Re: [Bibdesk-users] BibDesk macros

[Adam R. M. <ama...@ma...>]

Lukas,

BibDesk does support macros extensively.  You can add them to  
your .bib file or use separate global macro files (Defaults pref pane;  
search for macro in the preferences and help book).

If your question specifically relates to editing a field as a macro,  
you use the cmd-r shortcut to edit as "Raw BibTeX" in an editor  
window, removing braces and using # for concatenation.  Does that help?

regards,
Adam
