Failing to re-define reference list of iso690 style

[pabloabur]

Hi,

I am trying to print all the authors in a LASTNAME, Firstname(s) format (instead of just the first author, as is the standard for iso690). I tried to edit \_otherauthorformat, but nothing changed after compilation. In fact, editing \_firstauthorformat also does not do anything. Does anybody know what I am missing here?

MWE
test.tex:

\fontfam[LMfonts]


\_def\_otherauthorformat{%
    \_upper{\_Lastname}\_bprintc\_Firstname{, *}\_bprintc\_Von{ *}\_bprintc\_Junior{, *}%
}


Citation \cite[ref].

\bigskip
\usebib/s (iso690) bibsample
\bye

bibsample.bib

@ARTICLE{ref,
    title="title",
    author="Lastname1, Firtname1 and Lastname2, Firstname2",
    year="2024"
    }

The output is Lastname1, Firtname1, and Firstname2 Lastname2. title. 2024.
What I expected was Lastname1, Firtname1, and Lastname2, Firstname2. title. 2024.

You have to use \bibtexhook, because the macros from the bib-style file (bib-iso690.opm in this example] are read in a group when the \usebib macro is processing. So, your definition is re-defined at this moment. But there is \bibtexhook token list where a user can put all re-definitions, because \bibtexhook is processed after the bib-style file is read. Your example can look like this:

 \fontfam[LMfonts]

\bibtexhook{
   \_def\_otherauthorformat{%
       \_upper{\_Lastname}\_bprintc\_Firstname{, *}\_bprintc\_Von{ *}\_bprintc\_Junior{, *}%
   }
}

Maybe, you didn't find the mention about \bibtexhook in OpTeX documentation. Please, can you suggest where to put it in order to avoid the confusion of future users?

Oh I see, thanks.

Now that you mentioned I found \bibtexhook in the documentation and the explanation is clear, but I totally missed that. I guess I would have found it if it were in Section 2.32.6 Usage of the bib-iso690 style. Somewhere around sorting or languages would make sense to me.

I see that the \bibtexhook is only documented in the "Parameters" section and it is not enough. My idea is to add the mention about \bibtexhook to the chapter 2.32.2 "The \usebib command" too.

[pabloabur]

Yes, I think that would work.
