[BULK] A bug in jabref 2.4.

Dear Winedt+list,

I find a the bug in the recently released jabref 2.4, I know I should post this to the list of jabref, but I
cann't find the corresponding list of it. 

The jabref 2.4's bibtexkey generator pattern has the following bug:

the [auth][year] doesn't work correctly, it will do the following wrong thing like this:

----------------------
author = {{Segall M D, Lindan P J D, Probert M J, Pickard C J, Hasnip P J, Clark S J and Payne M C}},

will be translated to:

SegallMDLindanPJDProbertMJPickardCJHasnipPJClarkSJandPayneMC
----------------------

Sincerely yours,

Grammar checker?

calling JabRef from WinEdt

Greek Dictionary and final sigma

When the Greek dictionary is loaded some words that have a final Greek 
sigma are highlighted as incorrect. It looks like that if the word (minus 
the final sigma) is present in the dictionary, then the whole word appears 
correct. If not, all the letters except the last (final sigma) are 
highlighted as incorrect. The final sigma is not highlighted.

Settings->Language has custom enabled, but final sigma does not show there. 
I am not attaching any images but if need be I can send some. Thanks.

Now I'm confused, too...  With WinEdt , I have a grayed-out LaTeX2e Help
item on the Help menu.  I went to Menu Settings > &Help > &LaTeX2e and
there the Macro is:

   HTMLHelp("%$('TeX-Help');\latex2e.chm",1,1);

and this Requires File Filter:

   %$('TeX-Help');\latex2e.chm

What do those entries have to do with the command you describe?

   HTMLHelp('%B\Doc\LaTeXHelpBook\LatexHelpBook.chm',1,1);

Can bibMacros insert multi cite's keys at the same time?

Dear Schlicht and others,

I now use your BibTEX macro package for WinEdt and want to do the following citing for references in one place
of my paper:

\cite{a,b,c}

That is, there are three references will be cited at the same time.

So, I want to know whether bibMacros insert multi cite's keys at the same time or not?

Sincerely yours,

Bug in abbreviation functionality?

Hello, Alex.

It seems, that there is a bug in abbreviation functionality (WinEdt 5.5, build
20071003).

WinEdt treat last character in "Trigger string" as space character. For example,
when trigger string is equal to "1", abbrev. expansion for "etc" triggered only
if I type "etc ". It's also true for multicharacter "Trigger string".   For
example, when "Trigger string"="__", expansion works only on "etc_ ".

On-the-spot highlighting of misspelled words of bib files

Hi,
    At times I use bib files to store database files to store 
information (for example see: 
http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2008-1/calleecharan/  ) and it seems that 
WinEdt does not have the "on-the-spot highlighting of misspelled words " 
feature for bib files. Is it possible to instruct WinEdt to do the 
highlighting of misspelled words as it does for tex files?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions
Y.Calleecharan

Can Winedt do batch find and replace for all of the bibtexkeys in the tex source file?

Dear Winedt users,

I meet a issue like the following, let me describe it in detail:

Firstly, I cite all my references in my paper by using the default bitexkeys generated by jabref for me,
subsequently, I found that the author's  abbreviation rule for the journal I want to submit my paper is not
as the forms I used.  

I was forced to change the field of the authors of all of my references according to the journal's
requirment, and then I regenerated all of the bibtexkeys by using jabref.

Due to the jabref use the author + year to generate all of its bibtexkeys,  this will lead to the many
references have different bibtexkeys from those I've used in my tex source file.  On the other hand, I've
already cited many references before I make the authors abbreviations according to the journal's requirments.

So I want to use the regular expression in winedt to do find-and-reeplace operation for all of the
bibtexkeys in the tex source file, but I don't know how to do this.  Who can give me some more hints on this
thing?  

Any hints would be appreciated.

Sincerely yours,
--

question

I have a question. Does WinEdt have  abbreviation option(I think
yes)? I mean that, say, I typed a key "f" and some special key (like F1,
or Esc, C-alt, ), and the word "fibration" appeared. So, I must organize
somewhere the abbreviation "f" for the word "fibration". Can you tell me
how can I do it? (Of course, I can do it via TEX macros, but I do not
want it).

Thanks

Yuli
