Lazy substitution of macros in .bib files
Issue #108
new
BibTeX's .bib
files can contain string macros defined by @STRING
commands. Pybtex currently substitutes macros with their string values during parsing of .bib
files. This poses a couple of problems:
pybtex-convert
is unable to preserve BibTeX macros in the output.- BibTeX's
.bst
styles can define their own macros. This means that the result of parsing a.bib
file depends on a bibliography style used. This complicates things. For example, there is no way to pass aBibliographyData
object to theEngine
. Instead of that theEngine
has to parse the.bib
file itself to be able to apply the correct macros defined by the bibliography style.
