 The variable `hash` can be used to pass a hash table in which the entries are stored. This can be used to combine multiple `.bib` files into a single hash table, or to update an existing hash table by rereading its `.bib` file. If an entry is read from the buffer that has the same key as an entry in `hash`, the new entry overrides the old one.
 
-The variable `strings` is a hash table of `@string` definitions, where the keys are the `@string` abbreviations and the values their expansions. If the variable `strings` is present, abbreviations occurring in the field values of the entries being read are expanded. Furthermore, the (outer) braces or double quotes are removed from field values.
+The variable `strings` is a hash table of `@string` definitions, where the keys are the `@string` abbreviations and the values their expansions.

-These functions do what their names suggest: read one single item of the type specified. Each takes the `pos` argument just mentioned. In addition, `parsebib-read-string` and `parsebiib-read-entry` take an extra argument, a hash table of `@string` definitions. When provided, abbreviations in the `@string` expansions or in field values are expanded. Furthermore, the outermost braces or double quotes are removed. Note that `parsebib-read-entry` takes the entry type (as returned by `parsebib-find-next-entry`) as argument.

 The reading functions return the contents of the item they read: `parsebib-read-preamble` and `parsebib-read-comment` return the text as a string. `parsebib-read-string` returns a cons cell of the form `(<abbrev> . <string>)`, and `parsebib-read-entry` returns the entry as an alist of `(<field> . <value>)` pairs. The alist contains an element with the key `=type=`, which holds the entry type, and an element with the key `=key=`, which holds the entry key. All functions move point to the end of the entry.
