Re: [NTG-context] bib module - urgent!

      Hi Irdis,

The answer to your question is quite simple,

You are missing \setuppublications

Here the MWE:
setuppublications[alternative=apa]

\starttext
\startpublication[k=haq,
                 t=book,
                 a=Haq,
                 y=1994,
                 s=Haq94]
\author[]{Syed Nomanul}[S.]{}{Haq}
\title{Names, Natures, and Things}
\pubname{Kluwer}
\city{Dordrecht}
\pubyear{1994}
\stoppublication

this is a cite from \cite[haq]
\stoptext

regards
	Keith.

Dear gang,
I am currently writing an article (mkiv) with lots of bibliographical references. But t-bib.tex seems to have disappeared, and the following simple file fails:
============
\starttext

============
Now my understanding is that the new biblio system does not use bbl files yet. But I stopped using .bib files the moment Taco released the original bibliography module. Biblio databases are all in .bbl format.
I also set up an extensive bib environment (attached) to take care of all sorts of things.
If this is broken, can it be fixed asap? Please don't make me have to convert bbl to bib; that will be beyond depressing. Also don't want to lose my environment commands.
This is urgent because there is only a short time to finish this article, and I really want to spend more time writing the content than debugging Context! :-) :-) :-)
Best wishes
Idris
