[Vim-latex-devel] Suggested changes to bibtex.tex

[Berta M. <ber...@ar...>]

Hello,

I want to suggest the change of $VIM/latex-suite/bibtex.vim
file. I think its better for LaTeX and BIBTeX porgrams to
use the following syntax:

@ARTICLE{
  author = "A. Author",
  title = "Title T.",
  journal = "Journal J.",
  ...
}

not the following one, which is currently used:

@ARTICLE{
  author = {A. Author},
  title = {Title T.},
  journal = {Journal J.},
  ...
}

Of course so on with @BOOK and the other 12 items.

It's because of:
- "sth" means that it is the set of strings (and expected
  ending is the comma) and
- {sth} means that it should be taken to LaTeX without
  changing the case (to make some title lower-case), and it
  is sometimes used inside of "sth" (like this "sth1 {ST}h2
  sth3").
  
It is also a suggested construction for bibtex program
(search for documentation on BIBTeX program called btxdoc.ps
or btxdoc.pdf with Google).

I changed my own bibtex.vim file and it works for me the way
I want. I think it's not polite to send the whole file to
the conference, but the changes are not so big, so I attach
the file with differencies to the message (generated by diff
program).

If I am not right, plea and reclamation are welcome.

Greetings! Milan
