If you run ConTeXt one more time, you will get: Jurjen N. E. Bos, and David Chaum, (1992). Provably unforgeable signatures. In (Brickell, 1992), pages 1-14. The module inserts a 'default' \cite command for the referenced item. This is exactly the behavior I intended, even if it is not compatible with LaTeX practise. Personally I like 'real' cross-referencing better than filling in fields in order to minimize the number of keystrokes in the BIB file. Unfortunately, there is an error in the code that prevents the referenced entry from automatically appearing in the publication list. A quick hack: replace '\completepublications' with \setbox0\vbox{\placepublications} \completepublications This will essentially typeset the list twice, the internal \cite will be processed in the first pass, and will therefore be known in the second pass. I have written down this bug for a future release, implementing a clean solution for this bug is too hard for me to allow me to write a fix right this instant.
Is this indeed the case? If so, is there a simple fix (e.g. some option that is not in the m-bib documentation)? Or is there some other bibliography package that handles bibtex crossrefs properly?
I don't think there is any other package. If there was, I wouldnt have written m-bib in the first place. A little side note: "-min-crossrefs" is not applicable since the entire database *always* appears in the bbl file. This is a problem that is caused indirectly by the fact that Bibtex is not a generic bibliographic manager, but instead is a LaTeX-centric data preprocessor. :-/ Greetings, Taco
