Cæsar is dead; let him lie!
Why don't we do it as natbib does it. (How does it deal with entries that
have neither an author/editor nor a year?)
Something like this perhaps. Can I leave the details to you? (Don't forget
getNumericalStrings!)
frontends/controllers/biblio.C:
vector<string> const
getAuthorYearStrings(string const & key,
InfoMap const & map, vector<CiteStyle> const & styles)
{
if (map.empty()) {
return vector<string>();
}
string const author = getAbbreviatedAuthor(map, key);
string const year = getYear(map, key);
- if (author.empty() || year.empty())
+ if (author.empty() && year.empty())
return vector<string>();
+ if (author.empty())
+ author = _("No author");
+ if (year.empty())
+ year = _("No year");
...
