Add support for bibtex files
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
BibTeX files have historically bad support for commenting out parts
of a file [1].

But the now standard replacement tool biber has reliabe
support for % as comment character [2].

So let's add that.

BibTeX files have historically bad support for commenting out parts of a file [1].

For example, pandoc --to docx throws error messages for this comment marker %.
Instead, what Vim recognizes as comment marker by his syntax highlighting and pandoc accepts as valid syntax is a comment marker

@Comment{ %s }

That would be only valid on the top level, wouldn't it?

Does 0628c96 fix this? When the cursor is on the top level, @Comment should be used, % otherwise.

Very good work. However, the condition is that the cursor is on the beginning of the line; if not, even though it is on the line of the top level that reads, say @article, then the comment marker % is used.

I though of a condition such as line('.') ~=? '^@'

I adapted the condition accordingly.
