APA 7 Experimental not working properly #25

Description

The following points do not work properly:

  • \cite command not working
    the \cite command does not produce the resulting (author, year) as per APA 7, it rather produces [?].
    However, the resulting Bibliography entry will be displayed. This means, that the entry is found in the bib file, however, displaying it in the cite command seems to fail for some reason
    Possible solution:
    Implementing the cite command properly

  • doi, shorttitle, issn not implemented
    Due to apa 7 huge amount of specifications, these are not implemented, hence not displaying at all

  • If no Url is given, it still shows "Retrieved " which should be not displayed at all
    Possible solution: Proper error handling when URL is provided or not

  • bib file - Author in brackets causes error
    If the author in the bib-file is in brackets (i.e. author = {Smith, {McKay} and Mulrain, Garrett}, it causes the Error `<keepcase|McKay> in the first author entry of the bibliography file.
    To fix this, remove the brackets, than it is working as intended.
    Possible solution: Not sure, proper error handling maybe?

  • Iso dates sometimes not parsed
    if the date in the bibfile is in iso format (date={2024-01-01}) the year gets not displayed. If only the year is existant (date={2024}) the entry is recognised and displayed. However this happens only sometimes... Sometimes the date gets parsed without any issue, sometimes it is not displayed at all.
    Possible solution: Better checks with (iso) dates
