Problem with abbreviations?

[bsalvy]

I'm using jan, feb, ... in the field month of my bibtex files. BibTeX styles know about these abbreviations and this is convenient in multi-lingual contexts. In papercite, @?month@@month@@;@ does not seem to display anything in that case, but this might not be the right syntax.

A few other abbreviations for journal names are standard in BibTeX (acmcs, acta, cacm, ibmjrd, ibmsj, ieeese, ieeetc, ieeetcad, ipl, jacm, jcss, scp, sicomp, tocs, tods, tog, toms, toois, toplas, tcs). They are supported by the standard BibTeX styles. It would be nice if papercite supported them too.

Papercite will be updated to use CSL, so I will postpone fixing this bug for the moment.

For the abbreviated journal names, I think the best would be to provide the option of including bibtex file (or to define strings in the preferences). Would you have a file containing journal abbreviations so I could start with this by default in papercite?

OK, thanks. I will try to include this in one of the next version of papercite.
