Hi, I agree with Mark that this cannot be done at the moment. But it could perhaps be worth considering to add support for this in the next version of JabRef? It would need us to temporarily store the previous value of the author field, and possibly others. Then we could make a formatter that checks whether the current value of the field matches the previous one, and replaces the contents with some other string if it does match.
Actually, it could probably be done without changing JabRef, by using a static variable in the formatter to keep track of the previous value. -- Morten 2011/8/16 Mark Schenk <[email protected]>: > >> I'm trying to put together a bibliographic export file for MHRA >> reference format.
