Dear Knights,
Comments used to work in bbl files but no longer:
========== \starttext \setuppublications[alternative=apa]
\startpublication[k=corbin81, t=book, a=Corbin, y=1981, s=Corbin81] \author[]{Henry}[H.]{}{Corbin} % \author[]{Henry}[H.]{von }{Corbin} \title{The Concept of Comparative Philosophy} \pubname{Golgonooza Press} \city{Ipswich, United Kingdom} \pubyear{1981} \stoppublication
\placepublications [criterium=all] % inherits from \setuppublications % \completepublications[criterium=cite] % only works with criterium=all \stoptext ==========
See the attached pdf; we get in the pdf output:
%Corbin, H. and von Corbin, H. (1981).
with an explicit '%'.
Can this be fixed?
From bibl-tra.mkiv: ====== %D \item Attempt to fix percent signs in bbl files. As a side-effect, %D this prohibits comments in \tex{startpublication} blocks! (17/4/2008) ===== But we can do, e.g., ==== \startpublication[k=corbin81, t=book, a=Corbin, y=1981, s=Corbin81] \author[]{Henry}[H.]{}{Corbin} \title{The Concept of Comparative Philosophy} \pubname{Golgonooza Press} \city{Ipswich, United Kingdom} \comment{This is a comment} \pubyear{1981} \stoppublication ==== or \unexpanded\def\MyComment#1{} Not as convenient as toggling % in an editor, but will do in a pinch. Again, from discussion with Hans. Strange I did not encounter this earlier. But I've been using a large pre-2008 bbl database for the current project...
