Hello,
The APS style is an example of a number-based citation system. As you
are looking for a tag-based citation, it might be better to start with
something like the APA style.
Is there some specification for your short tag-based citation style?

Hi,
I'm trying to customize a cite format in a bibliography. Currently, I'm using the aps style which fits so far, except of the plain number as reference. In concrete, I want to change the following: - Use the first letter of the last name and the year as reference (this should be exactly the short form). It is more less also described here [1]. - Highlight publications of a certain author with an extra char (e.g. '>')
Here is a minimal example (lets assume, every occurrence of Knuth should be highlighted): ``` \setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata] @Book{knuth1, author = {Donald E. Knuth}, title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting}, year = {1979}, publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, } @Article{someother, author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson}, title = {Another title}, year = {1900}, } \stopbuffer
% enable tracing \enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details, publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \setupbtx[dataset=main] \definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main]
% this seems to have no effect? \setupbtx[alternative=short]
\starttext
Knuth developed \TeX \cite[knuth1]. Several persons said something \cite[someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext ```
It should be rendered as: ``` Knuth developed TeX [>Knu79]. Several persons said something [PO00].
[Knu79] D.E. Knuth, TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting (Addison-Wesley, 1979). [PO00] S. Person and S. Otherperson, Another title, (1900). ```
How can I achieve that \cite[something] always renders in the short form by default? How can I customize that references to Knuth contain this extra '>'? How can I customize the APS style to also use the short form in the list of publications instead of numbers?
