Cannot create custom author highlight in reference list - works in v.2.10.1

Cannot create custom author highlight in reference list - works in v.2.10.1

[gnpan]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1884 bytes --]



In versions previous to 2.11 (latest was 2.10.1) I could highlight only my 
name in reference lists (e.g. for cv) using the trick shown here 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/18664/underline-my-name-in-the-bibliography, 
which involves modifying my name in the .bib file and adding a \newcommand 
under header-includes in the .txt file (see files below for MWE). This does 
not work in subsequent pandoc versions and I assume it is an issue of 
citeproc vs. pandoc-citeproc. 

MWE (note that the default templates that came with each version have to be 
used to avoid cslreference errors):
For v.2.11.2:
pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex --citeproc --bibliography=test.bib 
--csl=nature.csl -o test11.pdf test.txt

For v.2.10.1:
pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex --bibliography=test.bib --csl=nature.csl -o 
test10.pdf test.txt
Files:
1. test.txt contents:
---
header-includes:
- \newcommand{\myname}[1]{\textbf{First, A.}}
---

Test [@first_test_2020]

2. test.bib file contents:
@Article{first_test_2020,
title = {Test title},
journaltitle = {Journal},
author = {{\myname{first}} and Second, B. and Third, C.},
date = {2020}
}

3. nature.csl: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=nature
4. Result with 2.10: test10.pdf 
<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/files/5559278/test10.pdf>
5. Result with 2.11: test11.pdf 
<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/files/5559279/test11.pdf>

Sorry for cross-posting this from the github site (#6856), not sure which 
is more appropriate. 
Thanks
George

Re: Cannot create custom author highlight in reference list - works in v.2.10.1

[John MacFarlane]

The citeproc library doesn't allow any formatting in given names,
so this bit of formatting is lost.

I'm not too tempted to change this.  For things like
initialization, it's very convenient to have plain strings
here.

I would suggest using a lua filter which operates on the
bibliography Div and runs after the citeproc phase.
It can just find Str elements with your name and put
them in an Underline.

Thanks for the quick reply. I ended up creating a .json file, then a global 
find & replace in that, and then converted it to pdf. Works fine. I also 
had a go with a simple lua filter, but it only worked for strings in the 
body text, not the bibliography - not sure how to make it work for the 
bibliography div.

To traverse only the contents of a specific div in a Lua filter you want to
use the pandoc.walk_block function, something like this:

``````lua
local underline_author_filter = {
  Str = function (str)
    if 'A. U. Thor' == str.text then
      return pandoc.Underline(str)
    end
    return nil
  end
}

function Div (div)
  if 'refs' == div.identifier then
    return pandoc.walk_block(div, underline_author_filter)
  end
  return nil
end
``````

Thanks BP, I did try but my limited grasp of lua filters didn't get me far, 
so I ended up doing a find and replace of the relevant text strings in an 
intermediate json file and then created a pdf from that - a few extra steps 
but it works fine and it's not something I have to do very often - who 
wants to see my CV at my age anyway...

While I appreciate that accepting formatting of the type requested might be 
problematical, I am reminded of "Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names 
<https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/>"

Re: Cannot create custom author highlight in reference list - works in v.2.10.1

Some systems can't handle something as simple as my official given name
which is double, with space between the parts rather than a hyphen. I get
an error because of the space or they just chop off the second half.
Sometimes the system, or people, insert a hyphen in place of the space, or
worse a hyphen between the second half and my surname.

True enough you should make no assumptions about names, neither of people,
places or anything else. Nor about the relative order of zip codes and
place names or house numbers and street names for that matter.

Re: Cannot create custom author highlight in reference list - works in v.2.10.1

On the off chance that someone else may be interested, here is a lua filter 
that works by combining your walk_block filter with the one mentioned in 
this forum by EBkysko (link) 
<https://groups.google.com/g/pandoc-discuss/c/RyX2czqyZ10/m/EltdkHShAwAJ>. 
As written above, your filter can work for a single string, e.g. the 
surname, because in the AST the initials and in-between space are separate 
strings.  The modified version below gets the surname and initials (Smith, 
J.) underlined in the references:

``````lua
local underline_author_filter = {
  Para = function(el)
    if el.t == "Para" then
    for k,_ in ipairs(el.content) do
      if el.content[k].t == "Str" and el.content[k].text == "Smith,"
      and el.content[k+1].t == "Space"
      and el.content[k+2].t == "Str" and el.content[k+2].text:find("^J.") 
then
          local _,e = el.content[k+2].text:find("^J.")
          local rest = el.content[k+2].text:sub(e+1) 
          el.content[k] = pandoc.Underline { pandoc.Str("Smith, J.") }
          el.content[k+1] = pandoc.Str(rest)
          table.remove(el.content, k+2) 
      end
    end
  end
  return el
  end
}

function Div (div)
  if 'refs' == div.identifier then
    return pandoc.walk_block(div, underline_author_filter)
  end
  return nil
end
``````
