Hello, Debian scientists. I've been running into an extremely annoying problem where bibtex chokes on fields that are too long, with some incredibly stupid limit like 10000 characters. However, I work for a large collaboration where the author list invariably exceeds this limit. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting around this problem? Manually editing fields down to a passable length is not acceptable, for a variety of reason, such as it's just stupid, and because I'm trying to keep my bibtex synced to online databases which output the full bibtex with full author list, and I want to be able to search the full fields. Any suggestions? There must be some next-gen version of bibtex out there that doesn't have limits from the 80's, right? Thanks in advance for any advice. jamie.
