Hi Branden, perhaps your question is the starting point of a gentle refer(1) overhaul, by including just a few more fields.
Peter made the URL identifier available in mom, which is a great addition (much needed these days as so many sources are now available online). I also have a few more fields on my wish list, like for translator, and subsequently, original title. Perhaps, but this is really just a wish, it would be great to include a mechanism for a more flexible choice of bibliography styles. Here too, mom has made ground-breaking work. If we have a style-switching mechanism in place, individual styles could be added as separate macro files. Best regards, Oliver. PS: I did not forget to work on the tbl introduction, have to finish a book project first (this or next? week, fingers crossed). On 02/08/2021 13:06, G. Branden Robinson wrote:
Why does refer(1) have no database field for "edition"? GNU refer doesn't. Neither did AT&T refer according to my searches. Seems like kind of a basic thing to leave out. What to do? Stick it onto the end of the %T (title)? Shove it into the %O (other) closet? Inaugurate a GNU extension? <evil laugh> Regards, Branden
