Hi everyone
I make quite extensive use of BibTeX macros. When sending BibTeX
entries to my colleagues I'm using the following template to expand
all macros:
<$publications>
@<$pubType/>{<$citeKey/><$allfiel...@nonempty>,
<$name/> = {<$value/>}</$allfiel...@nonempty>}
</$publications>
This works fine for all macros, only the BibTeX month field causes
troubles. I'm storing the month name always with its 3 letter
abbreviation, i.e., jan, feb, ...
The problem is that when expanding the name of the month in the
template BibDesk seems to apply the date format from my region/locale.
That is, in my setup (language set to English, but Region set to
Switzerland (German)) the month names are written in German. For
example, if I have a BibTeX entry with Month = jan, it is expanded to
"Januar", instead of "January" or "jan". This causes problems with
common BibTeX styles.
The same problem also occurs in the edit dialog for a BibTeX entry.
Is this intended behavior? A possible workaround might be to re-define
each month with a macro @{jan = January}, but this seems too hackish
for me.
Best regards,
Christian
