Subject: Bib bug in using months
Date: Mon, 8 May 2006 02:18:14 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.WNT.4.63.0605080211081.172@nqvgln> (raw)

Hi Taco,
  In my bib file, I have month enteries like


month=jan,

month=feb,

and so on. While I was learning latex, I read somewhere that this is 
better than writing explicit names for the month as the bst file can 
then choose whether to use long names or short names. It is also 
possible to choose the month names according to the language of the 
main document. I followed that advice and now I have HUGE bib file 
with such enteries.

However, the bib module does not support this naming scheme. I get

\month{1}
\month{2}

etc in my bbl file. Can this be corrected?

This is not urgent at all, as I can correct everything in my editor, 
changing \month{1} to \month{Jan.} or \month{January} depending on 
what citation style I want. It will be nice if the context bst style 
did this by default.

Aditya
