[bib] getting full author(s)'s name(s)

[bib] getting full author(s)'s name(s)

Good evening,


how do I retrieve an author's (or editor's) full name in the correct
order (little endian: first name(s) -- surname) from a bib entry?

I can do stuff like \getcitedata[author1] but that does leave me with
only one of many.

I'm convinced the answer lies somewhere hidden in bibl-tra.mkiv inside
\complexbibdef and particularly \specialbibinsert but I can't grasp the
relevant part (getting the list) of it.

Thanks very much,


Philipp

If you are talking about \cite then the answer is not in
\specialbibinsert, but in \bibauthorref, which is quite
complicated because of sorting.

Sorry, you just can't do this right now.

Best wishes,
Taco

I see, I'll revert to my workaround, then: adding new fields
\full[author|editor] and format the entries by hand.  This will do but
I'll have to insert the data twice … thanks anyways.

Regards,


Philipp
