Hello,
here my m-bib questions:
* The lost space after \cite[...], is it a bug or a feature?
It is unintentional, and I will try to fix that behaviour in the future.
* I'm going to add some multi-lingual support to m-bib. My idea is, to replace in cont-XX.bst and bibl-XXX.tex "page" by "\pagename", "and" by "\andname" and so on. Is this method ok? If not, how should I do it (not too complicated please ;) ?
Brooks and Hans both gave solutions that do not work all too well (because of combinatory explosion: conseptually there is a distinct 'before-before', 'after-before', 'before-after', 'after-after', and 'not-found' text -- that depends on the current language -- for each and every one of the nodes in the nested tree that represents a bibliographic item). The best 'easy' solution I can think of is: copy the bibl-xxx.tex file you want to a different name (like bibl-apa-de.tex), then change the text within it on the spot, without any macro replacements whatsoever. My next release will support something like \setuppublications[style=apa, language=de] so from then on, the problem will be hidden from the casual user. BTW: If in your version the BST files still contain actual text, you should download a newer version from http://tex.aanhet.net/bib . -- groeten, Taco
