@DavidCarlisle @barbarabeeton the problem with parenthesis in context of non-technical texts is also that it has a second meaning: it's a stylistic device that does not have to be delimited from the surrounding text by brackets. However, in context of technical and especially mathematical texts, the standard vocabulary is indeed that parenthesis are () and brackets are [] (not to confuse with brakets <|>)

@egreg this cevapcici (no idea how to make the accents) thing is very good. My neighbors are croatian and they make it a lot!
 
@GuilhermeZ.Santos Typical dish of those lands, but in Croatian it is “čevapčići” with a different accent over the last ‘c’: Slovenian only has ‘č’.
Sorry, in Croatian it is “Ćevapčići”. Those accents make us going nuts.
Serbian is Ћевапчићи (which is the same as in Croatian, but in Cyrillic)

@egreg Czech, of course, never puts ´ over consonants, so we also write čevapčiči ...
 
@yo' Probably you should call them “ťevapčiti”
 
yo'
@egreg not at all! The sound of ť is very different from both č and ć. Also, it wouldn't make sense historically. Actually, the consonant group closest to ć would be ťš but it does not exist in our language (we only have which we denote č)
(also, note that ťe \mapsto )
 
@yo' I knew that talking about language would distract you. ;-)

@egreg :) Doesn't change the fact that I am actually a bit looking for a church where the minister is able to send the list of songs for Sunday sooner than Saturday noon :-(

A: parsing bbl file to an xml file from within pdflatex while typesetting

Joseph WrightParsing the .bbl file is really not the optimal approach here: the file is meant for typesetting and must come from a more structured .bib file. A more sensible approach is to modify the .bst file used by BibTeX such that it writes XML data to the .bbl in form of a 'comment'. The latter can then ...
