Class BibtexNameFormatter

java.lang.Object

net.sf.jabref.bst.BibtexNameFormatter

public class BibtexNameFormatter
extends java.lang.Object

From Bibtex: "The |built_in| function {\.{format.name\$}} pops the top three literals (they are a string, an integer, and a string literal, in that order). The last string literal represents a name list (each name corresponding to a person), the integer literal specifies which name to pick from this list, and the first string literal specifies how to format this name, as described in the \BibTeX\ documentation. Finally, this function pushes the formatted name. If any of the types is incorrect, it complains and pushes the null string." Sounds easy - is a nightmare... X-(
