I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the generating function to handle generating keys for a couple of special situations. My current generator looks like:
[auth][key]:[year:(unk)]:[shorttitle:abbr:upper] So, if I put in a key, it appends it to the author name followed by the year and title abreviation (ex Hubert_B:2003:FAR -- where the _B is in the key). After thinking about it, I would like to hardwire the author part of the citekey -- even if the author field is already specified. I tried defining the generator as: [key:auth]:[year:(unk)]:[shorttitle:abbr:upper] but [auth] is never used and is left blank if there is no key field. For specific testing, here is a partial entry on a 900 year old Sanskrit manuscript: title = {The Rasa-ratna-samuccaya of M\={a}nikyadeva S\={u}ri}, author = {{M\={a}nikyadeva S\={u}ri, fl. 1268-1327}}, year = {1986}, translator = {Sikdar, J.C.} I would prefer to have this entry either Sikdar:1986:RRS or Suri:1268-1327:RRS instead of M=anikyadevaS=urifl.12681327:1986:RRS Suggestions?
