In BBDB 3 the formatting of addresses is quite customizable via the user variable bbdb-address-format-list. You might know that BBDB also comes with an interface for printing complete BBDB records via TeX (not LaTeX), see the file bbdb-print.el. For addresses, this uses bbdb-print-address-format-list, which defaults to bbdb-address-format-list. Printing complete BBDB records is probably not what you want. However, you might want to use a scheme similar to what bbdb-print does in order to feed BBDB addresses into your (La)TeX files. Roland PS: The main code in bbdb-print.el is very old. It's on my to-do list to update this code to have a better interface with LaTeX. However, I have not yet found the time to do that. Yet printing of addresses will most likely continue to use bbdb-address-format-list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
