bug#30175: 25.3; [PATCH] activate mark when marking bibtex entry

[Alex Branham]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1008 bytes --]

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

bug#30175: Follow-up

[Alex Branham]

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
