Edit: yes, it does. From bt_language.pod COMMENT \%~[\n]*\n WHITESPACE [\ \r\t]+ JUNK ~[\@\n\ \r\t]+ Old-school bibtex users remove the @ from an entry to comment it out, but btparse calls that "JUNK" in its lexer, and you get a log message about "foo characters of junk seen at toplevel" or something. Lines starting with % are considered comments by btparse, and it doesn't log them (which is why Mike used % in BibDesk's file header template). I suspect no one on the list really cares about these arcane aspects of parsing BibTeX databases, but the point is that there are some subtleties that can end up confusing users (and anything considered "JUNK" in your file will be gone after you save it in BibDesk). -- Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list Bibdesk-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
