You cannot do this. The BibTeX database requires that author names be separated by "and" rather than a punctuation mark. This makes sense when you consider a name field of the form Lastname, F. M. and ... The software needs to reliably split the name, and comma is used to separate last/first names. If you think you have a robust way to interpret comma, you might be able to add a script hook to do replace "," with "and" where appropriate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
