Hi Folks,

i am working on my own style and stumbled over a problem with the editor reference in the bibliography. I used the havard author-date style to start with.
For testing Reasons i created some fake entrys, one of them is like this: "Tester Klaus (ed.), A testbook (Berlin 2012)", so the Book has no author but an Editor instead.
My citation macros for the author are these:
<!-- Long Author Quote -->
<macro name="author">
<names variable="author">
<name sort-separator=", " initialize-with="."
delimiter-precedes-last="always" delimiter=" – " />
<substitute>
<names variable="editor" />
<text macro="anon" />
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>
<!-- Short Author Quote -->
<macro name="author-short">
<names variable="author" >
<name form="short" delimiter=" – " delimiter-precedes-last="always"
initialize-with=". " et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1" />
<substitute>
<names variable="editor" />
<names variable="translator" />
<text macro="anon" />
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>
So citing the book in a footnote makes no problems, the macro "author-short" substituts to editor and everything works just fine. But in my Bibliography i call the macro "author", which basicly does the same as author short, but not in short form. Long story short, in the Bibliography he didn't substituts to editor but to "anon" which is the anonymous call. I am starring on my code know for a couple of hours and couldnt find the error, so i am asking you what is wrong with it?

Regards Nils
