bibliography reference and index
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:37:07 UTC
It would be a _very_ useful option to get rid of the brackets, so that it is possible to create references like [XXX1, XXX2, XXX3] instead of [XXX1], [XXX2], [XXX3]. A hidden text feature would be very useful for bibliographic indexes, too.
Well, nobody asked me, but I agree anyway (on the bracket part). :-) This was something that bothered me when doing my own diploma thesis, and I think I ended up doing those references by hand. To implement this, one would have to add a flag to the bibliography field (+API, + load/save), but I think that's doable. As for the hidden text, I think we support this already, so I don't get Bernd's point.
Alternatively - does anybody know where to delete the '[' and ']' addition inside the source-code? It would be OK for me to leave them out anyway. No joke, really.
dvo->BerndSchmitt: Well... I'd much prefer a proper solution, one that would benefit everyone. However, if you don't want to wait, look at: SwAuthorityField::Expand() in sw/source/core/fields/authfld.cxx Brackets are obtained from the field type through pAuthType->GetPrefix()/GetSuffix() and can be omitted in a fairly straight-forward manner.
Reassigned to Christian.

well, i would say this is completed since know you can select between [no brackets], [],(), {} and <> in the setting of the bibliography reference as far as i know.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
