bibtex.py: Allow generating macros (for month field)
As seen in a discussion with Roberto, Morane and Valentin, month field should be a macro (representing a 3 letters month literal) for backward compatibility. I am making this proposal to allow generating a macro using pybtex
, which does not handle it natively.
By default, the pybtex
BibTeX writer quotes every field value. I am creating a new plugin, pybtex.database.output.BibTeXWithMacroWriter
, that I register dynamically with register_plugin()
. This plugin overrides the BibTeX writer quote()
method to prevent from quoting fields starting with macro:
. This syntax can be discussed.
Resolves #4741 (closed).
