Description Alexander Wagner 2024-07-17 09:07:57 UTC
The exports to BibTeX should strip Marc punctuation as they are not correct in BibTeX and it would require the user to strip them by hand to get proper displays in the final LaTeX documents.

Examples from within ktd:

**Bibrecord 55**

```
@book{55,
	author = {MacGill-Eain, Somhairle, and Whyte, C.},
	title = {Dàin do Eimhir =},
	publisher = {Polygon,},
	year = {2007.},
	address = {Edinburgh :},
	note = {Originally published: Glasgow : Association for Scottish Literary Studies, 2002.}
}
```

should be

```
@book{55,
	author = {MacGill-Eain, Somhairle and Whyte, C.},
	title = {Dàin do Eimhir},
	publisher = {Polygon},
	year = {2007},
	address = {Edinburgh},
	note = {Originally published: Glasgow : Association for Scottish Literary Studies, 2002.}
}
```

**BibRecord 57** exports as:

```
@book{57,
	author = {MacGill-Eain, Somhairle, and Whyte, C. and Association for Scottish Literary Studies.},
	title = {Dàin do Eimhir /},
	publisher = {Association for Scottish Literary Studies,},
	year = {2002.},
	series = {Association for Scottish Literary Studies ;},
	address = {Glasgow :}
}
```

and should read

```
@book{57,
	author = {MacGill-Eain, Somhairle and Whyte, C. and Association for Scottish Literary Studies},
	title = {Dàin do Eimhir},
	publisher = {Association for Scottish Literary Studies},
	year = {2002},
	series = {Association for Scottish Literary Studies},
	address = {Glasgow}
}
```
