(bibtex-string, bibtex-preamble): Use forward-line. (sort-subr): Don't call autload for this--that's done in loaddefs.el. (bibtex-mode): Add autoload cookie. Changed keybinding for bibtex-print-help-message (from \C-ch to \C-c?). Therefore, describe-mode is not longer on \C-c?. Also, changed prefix \C-cn for bibtex-narrow functions to \C-c\C-r. (bibtex-string-files): Changed documentation. (bibtex-mode-map): Inscriptions of menu bar changed from "Entry Types" to "Entry-Types" and "Bibtex Edit" to "BibTeX-Edit". (bibtex-string-files): Changed documentation. (bibtex-mode): If environment variable BIBINPUTS isn't defined, string files are searched in the current directory. (bibtex-completion-candidates): Now buffer-local to allow evaluation of different bibtex-string-files in different buffers. (bibtex-autokey-edit-before-use, bibtex-clean-entry): New variable that determines, if the user is allowed to edit auto-generated reference keys before they are used. (bibtex-generate-autokey, bibtex-clean-entry): New function to generate an autokey if necessary. (bibtex-autokey-names, bibtex-autokey-name-change-strings, bibtex-autokey-name-length, bibtex-autokey-name-separator, bibtex-autokey-year-length, bibtex-autokey-titlewords, bibtex-autokey-title-terminators, bibtex-autokey-titlewords-stretch, bibtex-autokey-titleword-first-ignore, bibtex-autokey-titleword-abbrevs, bibtex-autokey-titleword-change-strings, bibtex-autokey-titleword-length, bibtex-autokey-titleword-separator, bibtex-autokey-name-year-separator, bibtex-autokey-year-title-separator): New variables related to bibtex-generate-autokey. (bibtex-find-entry-location): Optional second parameter maybedup to tell it that entering a duplicate entry isn't to report by an error but by the return value of the function (necessary for bibtex-clean-entry to find the correct position of an entry with an autogenerated key without disturbing the user with unwanted messages). (bibtex-help-message): New variable to avoid printing of help messages in the echo area. (assoc-of-regexp): New function to match an alist of regexps. (bibtex-string-files, bibtex-completion-candidates, bibtex-mode): New variables to allow bibtex-complete-string to work on strings initialized from a variable and from @String definitions in a list of files, too. (bibtex-predefined-strings, bibtex-entry-field-alist): Changed to user options. (bibtex-mode): Changed doc string. (many functions and variables): Changed documentation strings of variables and functions to hold a complete sentence in the first line. (bibtex-print-help-message): Now line dependent and reports if it is called outside a BibTeX field. (validate-bibtex-buffer): Completely rewritten to validate, if buffer is syntactically correct. (find-bibtex-duplicates): Moved into validate-bibtex-buffer. (ispell-abstract, bibtex-ispell-abstract, ispell-bibtex-entry, bibtex-ispell-entry, beginning-of-bibtex-entry, bibtex-beginning-of-entry, end-of-bibtex-entry, bibtex-end-of-entry, hide-bibtex-entry-bodies, bibtex-hide-entry-bodies, narrow-to-bibtex-entry, bibtex-narrow-to-entry, sort-bibtex-entries, bibtex-sort-entries, validate-bibtex-buffer, bibtex-validate-buffer, find-bibtex-entry-location, bibtex-find-entry-location): All interactive functions are renamed, so that any interface function begins with "bibtex-". Mapping: ispell-abstract --> bibtex-ispell-abstract ispell-bibtex-entry --> bibtex-ispell-entry beginning-of-bibtex-entry --> bibtex-beginning-of-entry end-of-bibtex-entry --> bibtex-end-of-entry hide-bibtex-entry-bodies --> bibtex-hide-entry-bodies narrow-to-bibtex-entry --> bibtex-narrow-to-entry sort-bibtex-entries --> bibtex-sort-entries validate-bibtex-buffer --> bibtex-validate-buffer find-bibtex-entry-location --> bibtex-find-entry-location (bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries, bibtex-sort-ignore-string-entries): Default is now t. (bibtex-complete-string): String list is built from additional string list bibtex-predefined-string and current strings in file. (string-equalp): Deleted and substituted by string-equal. (assoc-string-equalp): Renamed to assoc-ignore-case. (bibtex-entry): Reference key can be entered with completion. All reference keys that are defined in buffer and all labels that appear in crossreference entries are object to completion. (Entry types): Changed order of entries in menu "entry types". (bibtex-entry-field-alist): Changed order of entries slightly to be more conform with standard BibTeX style layouts. (bibtex-mode-map): Uniform keybindings for \C-c\C-e prefix (often used types on control keys, sometimes used types on normal keys, rarely used types on shift keys, almost never used types on meta keys). (bibtex-mode-map): Function narrow-to-bibtex-entry and counterpart widen and function hide-bibtex-entry-bodies and counterpart show-all bounded to appropriate local keys. (bibtex-abbrev-table): Deleted (bibtex-current-entry-label, put-string-on-kill-ring): Deleted (AUCTeX provides all the functionality needed for citation completion). (bibtex-enclosing-reference, bibtex-pop-previous, bibtex-pop-next, bibtex-clean-entry): Hacked for speed (bibtex-pop-previous and bibtex-pop-next were to slow for larger BibTeX files). (bibtex-pop-previous, bibtex-pop-next): Delimiters from previous or next entry are changed to actual delimters if necessary. (bibtex-entry): Fixed bug (False entry wasn't reported in error message if bibtex-entry was called with undefined reference name). (bibtex-entry-field-alist, bibtex-entry, bibtex-make-field, bibtex-next-field, bibtex-clean-entry): Every reference entry now contains a comment in addition to the name of the reference. This comment appears in the echo area if you start editing that field (after calling bibtex-next-field). (bibtex-include-OPTcrossref, bibtex-entry): Changed bibtex-include-OPTcrossref from single boolean variable to hold a list of reference names which should have a crossref field. (bibtex-complete-word): New function, which completes word fragment before point to the longest prefix of predefined strings in the buffer in the same way that ispell-complete-word operates for words found in the dictionary. (bibtex-reference-head): Start of bibtex-reference-head changed from "^[ \t]*\\(" to "^\\( \\|\t\\)*\\(" (bibtex-pop-previous and bibtex-pop-next didn't work, probably due to a bug in re-search-forward). (several functions): Added support for {} as field delimiters (better than '"' for accented characters. (bibtex-clean-entry): If optional field crossref is empty or missing, former optional fields (if bibtex-include-OPTcrossref was t) are necessary again. bibtex-clean-entry complains if they are empty but not if they are missing, so you can intenionally omit them, e. g. for a pseudo @Journal entry (needed for crossreferences) made out of an @article with missing non-optional fields. Menu bar entries aren't centered anymore.
