Bibliography + citation combo

Bibliography + citation combo

[Matija Šuklje]

Hullo,

a few weeks (months?) ago there was a debate on this list about sprucing up 
the 'bib' module. I don't know what the policy about reviving old threads is, 
so I started a new one.

The biggest problem I had (and still do) with the 'bib' module is that I 
cannot directly use the data I have stored as bibliography data in the on-page 
citations.

In my "PF_UL" style I had to introduce a few new bibfields that basically 
repeating the same data again.

E.g. to have a list of shortened names like "J. Smith, H. Potter and G. Gray" 
in the on-page citation, while keeping the full names at the end of the text 
in the bibliography like "Smith, John; Potter, Harry and Gray, Gandalf" I now 
have to write for each cited work another bibfield when I add its data:

It'd be _so_ much more elegant if \nocite and \getcitedata could use 
manipulate the data from the \author command to do the same.



Cheers,
Matija
