parsing non-standard biblatex entry types

[bdarcus]

I noticed that parsebib parses my biblatex "jurisdiction" entry types, but that the bibtex package doesn't seem to; it returns a key not found when using bibtex-search-entry.

But I don't see any explicit configuration in parsebib for jurisdiction.

Any tips so that bibtex-search-entry sees the same thing as parsebib?

Parsebib just assumes anything following an @ sign is an entry type if it's not preamble, string or comment. bibtex.el OTOH sets up a regex matching entry types in bibtex-entry-type, so anything that doesn't match this regex is not recognised as an entry.

bibtex-entry-type is populated on the basis of bibtex-BibTeX-entry-alist or bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist, depending on the detected dialect. (I don't know how bibtex.el detects the dialect, except that setting a file-local variable works; there may be other methods as well, I don't know.)

So in order to get jurisdiction recognised, you'd have to customise the entry types.

So it might be more sensible for us to use the parsebib regex to find the entry?

Edit: actually, maybe I can let-bind bibtex-entry-type to use the more lenient regex?
