Re: Bibliography management/BibTex equivalent
/ Mark Wroth <mark@astrid.upland.ca.us> was heard to say:
| BibTeX allows any fields in any entry. Each bibliography style then
| parses the fields into "required", "optional", and "ignored", and
| provides typesetting rules for the required and optional fields. Any
| field that is neither required nor optional is treated as ignored.
Do the rules ever reorder fields? I could tweak the stylesheets to
select only some entries from each biblioentry and process them.
How does BibTeX deal with punctuation around optional entries?
Be seeing you,
