[bib] getting full author(s)'s name(s)
Good evening, how do I retrieve an author's (or editor's) full name in the correct order (little endian: first name(s) -- surname) from a bib entry? I can do stuff like \getcitedata[author1] but that does leave me with only one of many. I'm convinced the answer lies somewhere hidden in bibl-tra.mkiv inside \complexbibdef and particularly \specialbibinsert but I can't grasp the relevant part (getting the list) of it.

If you are talking about \cite then the answer is not in \specialbibinsert, but in \bibauthorref, which is quite complicated because of sorting. Sorry, you just can't do this right now. Best wishes, Taco

Sorry, you just can't do this right now. I see, I'll revert to my workaround, then: adding new fields \full[author|editor] and format the entries by hand. This will do but I'll have to insert the data twice … thanks anyways.
Regards, Philipp
