Indeed, it is hard to imagine a BibTeX file devoid of such markup. How would one indicate the (reverse) emphasis of a quoted book title, as in /The Cambridge Companion to /Ulysses, except by indicating the emphasis of "Ulysses" and letting ConTeXt reverse it when emphasizing the complete title? (§4.21 of the APA2013 spec requires this.) title={The Cambridge Companion to {\em Ulysses}},

I would think that the proper form would be

title={The Cambridge Companion to {\it Ulysses}}

since \em could be, and is by default, slanted, but the standard here calls for italic.

1. How many fonts provides a italic *and* slanted style. 2. You change for the style for \em.

That brings up the question of when one should use \em, \emph, and \emphasized, all of which appear in font-emp.mkvi. The wiki and other documentation provides no guidance.

\starttext normal {\em emphasized} {\it normal {\em emphasized}} \stoptext Wolfgang
