Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 12:59:02 -0600

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This patch activates the mark when running bibtex-mark-entry, making behavior consistent with e.g. mark-paragraph.

Can this make it into Emacs 26 (please)?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello -

It's been about a week since I sent this patch and I haven't heard anything. Just sending a follow-up so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

FWIW I've been using it locally without ill effect.

Thanks again!
Alex
