BibTool Manual Reference Manual Format Specification Conjunctions

Conjunctions

Conjunctions are formatting instructions evaluated in sequence. The conjunctions are simply written by successive formatting instructions. A conjunction succeeds if every part succeeds. The empty conjunction always succeeds.

Suppose an BibTeX entry contains fields for editor and year. Then the following conjunction succeeds:

%-3n(editor) : %2d(year)

If the value of the editor field is "E.D. Itor" and the year field contains "1992" then the result is itor:92.
