It will prompt you for a filename. Then run TeX on that ;;; file and print it out. ;;; ;;; Bbdb-print understands one new bbdb field: tex-name. If it ;;; exists, this will be used for the printed listing instead of the ;;; name field of that record. This is designed for entering names ;;; with lots of accents that would mess up mailers, or when for any ;;; reason you want the printed version of the name to be different ;;; from the version that appears on outgoing mail and in the *BBDB* ;;; buffer. You may want to add tex-name to a omit list of the variable ;;; bbdb-display-layout-alist so you only see it in the printout. ;;; tex-name is exempted from the usual special-character quoting done by ;;; bbdb-print; it is used verbatim. ;;; ;;; Not all fields or records need be printed. To not print a certain ;;; field, add it to `bbdb-print-elide' (which see). If after eliding ;;; fields a record contains no interesting information, it will not ;;; be printed at all; the variable `bbdb-print-require' determines ;;; what is meant by "interesting" information. You can also restrict ;;; printing to just the records currently in the *BBDB* buffer by ;;; using *P instead of P. ;;; ;;; There are various options for the way the formatting is done; most ;;; are controlled by the variable bbdb-print-alist. See its ;;; documentation for the allowed options. ;; ;; $Id$ ;; ;; $Log$ ;; Revision 1.67 2001/11/19 21:35:08 waider ;; Patch from Alex Schroeder ;; ;; Revision 1.66 2001/09/11 10:55:31 fenk ;; Appliend fixed according to change log ;; ;; Revision 1.65 2000/11/27 12:59:53 waider ;; Alex's zipcode changes.
