This repo is intended to demonstrate an issue with the BibTeX documentation.
"Designing BIBTEX Styles", page 9, at the very top states that:
Suppose a database entry has the field
author = "Charles Louis Xavier Joseph de la Vall{\’e}e Poussin"
and suppose you want this formatted "last name comma initials". If you use the format string
"{vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f}?"
BibTEX will produce
de~la Vall{\’e}e~Poussin, C.~L. X.~J?
as the formatted string.
In the demo folder of this repository you can find three files:
example.bibwhich contains a single entry with an author fieldauthor = "Charles Louis Xavier Joseph de la Vall{\’e}e Poussin"- an
example.bstfile which only formats authors using{vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, f}? - the
input.texfile, which usesexample.bibandexample.bstand cites the singular entry
According to the documentation, one would expect that
tex input
bibtex input
produces an input.bbl file containing only the following:
de~la Vall{\’e}e~Poussin, C.~L. X.~J?
However, it instead produces:
de~la Vall{\’e}e~Poussin, C. L. X.~J?
(There is a ~ missing between C. and L. )
