Parsing bibtex "author" to CSL JSON author seems fraught with errors when we consider international names. Sorry.

@rcpeters How do you go about it internally? I imagine you all use this library somewhere, correct?

A long string of "and"s doesn't seem like it would be very useful. Am I missing some important detail?

Thanks for the clarification.

Author[bibtex] = Author[json] no parsing of the value author. We only use this lib to display bibtex as html.

[dsifford]

@rcpeters fair enough! Thanks again for the clarification 😄

If you have any suggestion on how to best handle import and conversion of bibtex to CSL JSON, I'm all ears! I'll be using this library with the CSL author hack in the meantime.
