cite author complition bug

[hadisfr]

\cite complition shows ???? for multi-line bibitem author attribute in bib file.

@Article{borle18,
author="Borle, Neil C.
and Feghhi, Meysam
and Stroulia, Eleni
and Greiner, Russell
and Hindle, Abram",
…

Also, it fails to render first name of author in misc types; e.g.:

@misc{code:safari18:pybiclique,
  title = {pybiclique},
  author = {Hadi Safari},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/hadisfr/pybiclique}}
}

The second one is the expected behaviour, i.e., the default format is:

{author_short} {year} - {title_short} ({keyword})

Where {author_short} is either 1) the last name of a single-author piece, 2) the last names of both authors conjoined with an & for a two-author piece, or 3) the last name of the first author with "et. al." for a multiple author piece. You can change the format in your sublime settings to something like:

{author} {year} - {title_short} ({keyword})

which will give you everything in the name field, though this may cause the year, title and keyword to not be displayed.

The first problem can be fixed by changing the bibliography setting to "new". The difference between the two bibliographies is that the "new" bibliography reader uses a proper parser, so it handles cases like this, but as a result it can perform worse that the "traditional" bibliography reader that uses regexes, but has some pretty fixed formatting requirements and doesn't support multiline values.

Note that you may have to completely delete the LaTeXTools cache to see the results.

Thank you. For the second one, I expected first name. For the second one, I didn't know limitations of traditional parser. It may be a good idea to add what you have said in https://github.com/SublimeText/LaTeXTools/issues/1361#issuecomment-415465560 to docs. 🤔

Besides, when do you think version 4 will be out? There are many pending pull requests.
