Customise name-separator and list-separator #1927
Comments
It looks like you did not upload an support log. The support log is important; it gives @retorquere your current BBT settings and a copy of the problematic reference as a test case so he can best replicate your problem. Without it, @retorquere is effectively blind. Support logs are useful for both analysis and for enhancement requests; in the case of export enhancements, @retorquere needs the copy of the references you have in mind. If you did try to submit a support log, but the ID looked like This request is much more likely than not to apply to you, too, even if you think it unlikely, and even if it does not, there's no harm in sending a debug log that turns out to be unnecessary. @retorquere will usually just end up saying "please send a debug log first". Let's just skip over the unnecesary delay this entails. Sending a debug log is very easy, depending on your situation, follow one of these procedures:
Once done, you will see a support log ID in red. Please post that support log id in an issue comment here. Thank you! |
I really need that log. It's just a few mouseclicks. I honestly don't know how I'd have the issue template or the bot phrase it more clearly without getting impolite. |
Out of curiosity, what do you do this instead of |
@retorquere Sorry, didn't see the bit about them being needed for enhancements too, as it seemed counter-intuitive until I read your explanation. Maybe you can bold that bit of text in the first paragraph, for people like me who are liable to skim long messages (even if they're important)? :-) I've updated my original post with the log ID now. |
@retorquere Basically for readability (in my personal opinion) and language-agnosticism. |
I'll get you a test build in a bit. |
@njbart do and's still have to be brace-protected when using these separators? |
That's super, thanks. Also, I know you addressed that question to @njbart, but I believe that there is no longer any need to brace-protect them in this case. At least, in my experience. Hopefully he can confirm though. |
Just to be sure, I checked with a test file including One thing that might cause problems further down the line, however, is that converting a bibfile containing such non-standard separators back to using the default Not sure whether anyone’s workflow will include such a step, but if so, it might be better to retain the braces. |
@njbart I recommend submitting that as a bug on the biber repo. The maintainer is usually pretty quick to fix small things like this. :-) |

Thanks very much @retorquere, that's great. It seems to work well, with one caveat: I had to redo my automatic export to get the change to take effect — simply "refreshing" the automatic export was not good enough. Also, I noticed this minor UI issue on the Export dialog ( |
Also, do I need to reinstall the main version (rather than test version) of this plugin to get updates in the future now? |

That's super, thanks. |
I (as do a sizeable minority, I believe) like to customise the name-separator and list-separator (using biber, e.g.,
--listsep='|' --namesep='|'
) rather then using the defaultand
