Re: [dev-context] publ-ini.mkiv: \citation

What is this on line 1390? \let\nocitation\nocitation In fact, I never paid any attention to the \listcitation and \textcitation variants. Alan On Sat, 19 Mar 2016 11:50:04 +0100 Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

This doesn't answer my question.

On line 1386 we have:

\unexpanded\def\citation {\doifelsenextoptionalcs\btxlistcitation \btxdirectlistcite}

which allows \citation{<REFERENCE>} but

\let\citation \listcitation

on line 1389 makes the \citation command a synonym for \listcitation which means \citation{<REFERENCE>} isn't possible anymore.

\citation and \cite are synonyms \nocitation and \nocite are synonyms

\cite and \nocite are traditional bibTeX usage (in LaTeX).

\nocitation (\nocite) is a hidden citation, i.e. it pulls an entry from the dataset, including it in the bibliography list, but does not render a reference in the text.

This is useful, for example, to force a reference tag at the place where a table or figure is called, but to postpone the rendering of the reference to the bibliography to figure later in the floated table or figure.

\nocite does the same thing as \cite[none] [key]

so we have

\let\cite \citation \let\nocite\nocitation

(i think Wolfgang was referring to the fact that we aliased to \listcitation, one of the 4 variants needed to satisfy mojca's hunger for all kind of citations)

Hi,

the bibliography module redefines the \citation two lines after the first definition and drops the \citation{...} method, is this intended?

Line 1386:

\unexpanded\def\citation {\doifelsenextoptionalcs\btxlistcitation \btxdirectlistcite} \unexpanded\def\nocitation{\doifelsenextoptionalcs\btxhiddencitation\btxdirecthiddencite}

\let\citation \listcitation \let\cite \citation \let\nocitation\nocitation \let\nocite\nocitation
