Hello James,
I hope this does not come across to be overly critic but I'll take
your offer to report back weaknesses by the word.
I am also not sure if I should post this over the mailing list of
just directly to you but I decided for the former, maybe this will
help finding a solution more easily.
Your template seems to struggle with multiple editors. The following
item
@book{Berdal:2007aa,
Address = {Cambridge},
Editor = {Berdal, Mats R. and Economides, Spyros},
Publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
Title = {United Nations Interventionism, 1991--2004},
Year = {2007}}
is shown as follows using your template:
United Nations Interventionism, 1991--2004
. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press; 2007.
(Berdal:2007aa, book)
Second example, now with multiple authors. Works better, just a
period after the first author's abbreviated first name could be
inserted.
@book{Debiel:2002aa,
Address = {New York},
Author = {Debiel, Tobias and Klein, Axel},
Date-Added = {2009-02-25 22:49:08 +0000},
Date-Modified = {2009-03-06 22:44:10 +0000},
Isbn = {1842771701},
Publisher = {Zed Books},
Title = {Fragile Peace: State Failure, Violence, and Development in
Crisis Regions},
Year = {2002}}
=>
Fragile Peace: State Failure, Violence, and Development in Crisis
Regions
Debiel T, Klein A. New York: Zed Books; 2002.
(Debiel:2002aa, book)
Last example which shows a weakness in dealing with multiple first
and middle names:
@book{Prescott:1981aa,
Address = {Honolulu, Hawaii},
Author = {Prescott, J. R. Victor},
Publisher = {East-West Environment and Policy Institute},
Series = {Research report},
Title = {Maritime Jurisdiction in Southeast Asia: A Commentary and
Map},
Volume = {no. 2},
Year = {1981}}
=>
Maritime Jurisdiction in Southeast Asia: A Commentary and Map
Prescott JRV. Vol. no. 2. Honolulu, Hawaii: East-West Environment
and Policy Institute; 1981.
(Prescott:1981aa, book)
Best,
Alex
