It works by temporarily switching bbdb-display-layout, but I must confess I didn't quite understand how it picked the layout to use instead. AFAICT it simply uses the one-line format.

SEXP) + + nil | | - toggle: controls if this layout is included when toggeling the display layout | - order: defines a user specific order for the fields, where `t' is a place | holder for all remaining fields | - omit: is a list of fields which should not be displayed or `t' to exclude all | fields except those listed in the order option | - name-end: sets the column where the name should end in one-line layout. | - indentation: sets the level of indentation for multi-line display. | - primary: controls wether only the primary net is shown or all are shown. | - test: a lisp expression controlling wether the record is to be displayed. | | When you add a new layout FOO, you can write a corresponding layout | function bbdb-format-record-layout-FOO.

bbdb-print is just to print .tex, how about .html or .txt? By a batch job too. OK, I was able to make a .txt with $ emacs -batch -eval '(progn(bbdb nil) (other-window 1)(write-file bbdb.txt)) You might want to document the proper way. I see I must use progn as safer and poops out at other-window. Hmmm. Hmm, even though I used -batch, I see Type C-x 4 b RET to restore old contents of the bbdb-list window. P.S.

Dan Jacobson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You might want to document the proper way. I just do M-x bbdb and search for . That gives me all the records in a buffer. C-x h selects the buffer, M-w copies it, and then I can yank it elsewhere. I also added two more entries to bbdb-display-layout-alist to control the layout. I like this approach so much in fact that I have abandoned the tex way. Plus no hassle with non-Latin-1 characters.
