[Bibulus-dev] Comments on bibulus.sty

[Morten Høgholm]

Hi all,

A few comments on bibulus.sty:

1) \cite should be a robust command, so use \DeclareRobustCommand for it.

2) There's a typo (a missing t) in the error message:
%% Error messages to check whether obsolete commands are being used.
\def\bibliography#1{%
  \PackageError{bibulus}{The command 'bibliography' is not to be used
    with bibulus}{You have entered the command
    \string\bibliography\space in your document.\MessageBreak
    Use \string\prinbibliography\space instead.}}

3) \footnotecite: Needs to be done from scratch as it doesn't support  
babel and babel is required by bibulus!
