Consider grouping of creator types by default on mobiles

Open flachware opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

@tnajdek do you think it would be feasible to group creators together on mobiles? Obviously this would wipe out some redundancy, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort. So, by default, we would have on mobiles:

Authors
First Last, First Last

Editor
First Last

And in edit mode we’d have to ungroup them:

Author
Last, First

Editor
Last, First

Author
Last, First

I guess the hard part is not to break ZBib (we don’t need the grouping there)?

I believe the order is more important here than the creator type so we probably shouldn't do this like this. We could maybe consider grouping subsequent creator types of the same type. So your example would not get grouped, but if you swapped order so that editor is last, then the first two authors would be grouped and appeared in order? That could work, not sure if it's worth the hassle?

I intend to decouple zbib from web library as there are more differences between the two editors than originally anticipated.
