Re: [NTG-context] alternative numerical \cite command

Hi Alan, Excuse-me to jump over a discussion related to the new bibliography features of mkiv, but is it now reasonably stable to swithch completely from mkii to mkiv (I still have some files in mkii which I use only because of the bibliography features I have set up on purpose). And where can one find an elementary introduction to the new bibliography features? Thanks in advance, and best regards: OK

These citation styles are predefined in context.

What I would like to do is inserting alternative numerical citations: normal superscript citations, like this^1, and occasionally inline citations in brackets, like this one [2]. How could I define alternative numerical citation style, e.g. \cite[inum][key] on the analogy of author, authoryear etc. styles?

mkiv-bibliographies (not the mkii publications module).

The citation styles can be tuned through parameters, i.e.

\setupbtx [cite:numbering:num] [left=, right=, command={\high}]

but in the latest beta, this way of switching to superscript citations is currently broken, I noticed, (and will be fixed).

Let me understand, though. Do you want to mix\high{1} citations with [1] citations? That would be rather strange, stylistically.

There is a predefined second num cite variant \cite[textnum][tag]. It's use is intended to produce something like ref. 1, to be used syntactically in a sentence, in conjunction with standard num references. [1] This is just num setup with [left={ref.\nbsp},right=].
