With recent versions of ConTeXt, spaces after \cite[Author:1977] are getting eaten. I'm pretty sure that did not happen with versions from a while ago, but the archives suggest that it happened a long while ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@let.uu.nl/msg00062.html The minimal test file: ============================================= \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=statement, sort=author] \starttext Polya said \cite[Polya:1966] in 1966: "finished mathematics consists of proofs, but mathematics in the making consists of guesses." \blank \placepublications \stoptext ============================================== The first line ends up "Polya said (Polya, 1966)in 1966..." with no space after the close paren. (This is with 2009.10.27 16:35 MKII on top of TL 2009 from Debian.) Here is statement.bib to complete the example: @Misc{Polya:1966, author = {George Polya}, title = {Let us teach guessing}, howpublished = {VHS}, year = {1966}, publisher = {Mathematical Association of America}, } -Sanjoy `Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.' --African Proverb

Perhaps 'strictinspectnextcharacter' is broken in the current release? Best wishes, Taco
Perhaps 'strictinspectnextcharacter' is broken in the current release?
It might include several past releases, including a few back into 2008. I first noticed the problem using ConTeXt 2008.10.31 but didn't manage to make a minimal example with it (many attempts didn't work) and only finally sat down and did so recently. Therefore, if you look for a change to 'strictinspectnextcharacter', don't limit your gaze just to the most recent changes. -Sanjoy `Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.' --African Proverb

for a while cite takes two optional arguments so some more strictness is needed; a next beta will solve it ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
