inline references
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some sort of macro/subroutine that can cover several references.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
move-punctuation should ignore multiple punctuation characters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make the index files machine independent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Allow search keys to be negated (with !) to indicate that the
|
||
|
|
reference should not contain the key. Ignore negated keys during
|
||
|
|
indexed searching.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provide an option with lkbib and lookbib that prints the location
|
||
|
|
(filename, position) of each reference. Need to map filename_id's
|
||
|
|
back to filenames.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rename join-authors to join-fields. Have a separate label-join-fields
|
||
|
|
command used by @ and #.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have some sort of quantifier: eg $.n#A means execute `$.n' for each
|
||
|
|
instance of an A field, setting $ to that field, and then join the
|
||
|
|
results using the join-authors command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
no-text-in-bracket command which says not to allow post_text and
|
||
|
|
pre_text when the [] flags has been given. Useful for superscripted
|
||
|
|
footnotes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make it possible to translate - to \(en in page ranges.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Trim eign a bit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In indexed searching discard all numeric keys except dates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Allow `\ ' to separate article from first word.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%also
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option automatically to supply [] flags in every reference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See if we can avoid requiring a comma before jr. and so on
|
||
|
|
in find_last_name().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cache sortified authors in authors string during tentative evaluation of
|
||
|
|
label specification.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Possibly don't allow * and % expressions in the first part of ?:, | or
|
||
|
|
& expressions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Handle better the case where <> occurs inside functions and in the
|
||
|
|
first operand of ~. Or perhaps implement <> using some magic character
|
||
|
|
in the string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Should special treatment be given to lines beginning with . in
|
||
|
|
references? (Unix refer seems to treat them like `%').
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add global flag to control whether all files should be stat-ed after
|
||
|
|
loading, and whether they should be stat-ed before each search.
|
||
|
|
Perhaps make this dependent on the number of files there are.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option to truncate keys to truncate_len in linear searching.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Allow multiple -f options in indxbib.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In indxbib, possibly store common words rather than common words
|
||
|
|
filename. In this case store only words that are actually present in
|
||
|
|
the file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perhaps we should put out an obnoxious copyright message when lookbib
|
||
|
|
starts up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provide an option that writes a file containing just the references
|
||
|
|
actually used. Useful if you want to distribute a document.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have a magic token such that
|
||
|
|
%A <sort stuff><magic token><print stuff>
|
||
|
|
will print as though it were
|
||
|
|
%A <print stuff>
|
||
|
|
but sort as though it were
|
||
|
|
%A <sort stuff>
|
||
|
|
Do we need this if we can specify author alternatives for sorting?
|
||
|
|
No, provided we have separate alternatives for @.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In consider_authors when last names are ambiguous we might be able to
|
||
|
|
use just the first name and not Jr. bit. Or we might be able to
|
||
|
|
abbreviate the author.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It ought to be possible to specify an alternative field to sort on
|
||
|
|
instead of date. (ie if there's a field giving the type of document --
|
||
|
|
these references should sort after any years)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provide a way to execute a command using a command-line option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option to set the label-spec as a command-line option (-L).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Command to to specify which fields can occur multiple times:
|
||
|
|
multiple AE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Command to specify how various fields sort:
|
||
|
|
aort-as-name A
|
||
|
|
sort-as-date D
|
||
|
|
sort-as-title T
|
||
|
|
sort-as-other O
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Command to specify which fields are author fields:
|
||
|
|
# if we don't have A use field Q
|
||
|
|
author-fields AQ
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Commands to set properties of tokens.
|
||
|
|
sortify-token \(ae ae
|
||
|
|
uppercase-token \[ae] \[AE]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Command to set the names of months:
|
||
|
|
months january february march april may ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perhaps provide some sort of macro capability:
|
||
|
|
# perhaps a macro capability
|
||
|
|
defmacro foo
|
||
|
|
annotation-field $1
|
||
|
|
endef
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Command to control strings used in capitalization
|
||
|
|
capitalize-start \s+2
|
||
|
|
capitalize-end \s-2
|
||
|
|
(perhaps make these arguments to the capitalize command.)
