Hello everybody,

Two (hopefully) quick questions on templates:

1.) Same problem as:
https://sourceforge.net/p/bibdesk/mailman/message/24924524/
trying to get the output for multiple authors:
Lastname, Firstname, Firstname Lastname, and Firstname Lastname. YYYY. Title

(FYI, all styles that are following [or inspired by] the Chicago Manual of
Style will have this format, the "logic" behind it is  "always write
authors as Firstname Lastname *unless* part of a list where Lastname is
relevant for sort order, i.e., bibliographies").

Is there a more elegant solution for this than the one suggested:

<$authors.normalizedName.@.../><$authors.@...=0?>
<$authors.@...=1?>
<?$authors.@...=2?>
 and <$authors.name.@.../><?$authors.@...=3?>
, <$authors.name.@.../>, and <$authors.name.@.../><?$authors.@...?>
, <$authors.name.@.../>, <$authors.name.@.../>, et al.</$authors.@...?>

as it happens that even in the social sciences there are papers with up to
a dozen authors and the above solution is a little cumbersome if you want
to have it universally applicable.

2.)  How do I get the "if no author display editor" behavior for templates?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Jan
