Thanks.

Hi,

All issues should be solved now in git. Remarks:

1. @comment, @string and @preamble should be ignored even when "print all entries" is selected. They are treated as special entries in the .bib file.

2. Double quotes are now correctly understood in special entries.

3. Abbreviations are understood and used, both in # concatenations and standalone.

I am sure many corner cases remain, but it should now work much better.

Some related problems with bibliography in .bib files:

1. The "@comment{}", "@string{}" and "@preamble{}" special entries (case insensitive) should be ignored (not rendered) when the bibliography is in "print all entries" mode, but they appear (usually as empty entries). Other comments outside entries are correctly ignored.
  
2. If a double quote character is included in a "@preamble{}" or in a "@comment{}" entry, then eLyXer enters an infinite loop displaying message "* Undesired character in tag name : *...".
  
3. Abbreviations defined in "@string{}" entries are ignored when used in concatenation of strings by the # character. See examples of use in http://www.bibtex.org/Format/   The abbreviations could be used also as the only content of a field (without concatenation).

A test .bib file is attached to test first and last cases (insert it in "print all" mode). To test second case, just edit the file and insert a double quote inside the    @preamble entry.
