Makes sense, seems like no default is defined anymore, so it won’t render without using a style. I use apa, and the attached screenshot shows my problem. \startbuffer[testbib] @Article{testone, author={Testperson, A. B.}, title={Thing with one author}, year={2001}, } @Article{testtwo, author={Testperson, A. B. and Friendperson, C.}, title={Thing with two authors}, year={2002}, } @Article{testmany, author={Ah and Bee and Cee and Dee and Ee and Eff and Gee}, title={Thing with two authors}, year={2002}, } \stopbuffer \definebtxdataset[main] \usebtxdataset[main][testbib.buffer] \setupbtx[dataset=main] % make cite use this \setupbtx[default:cite][alternative=authoryear] % cite style \usebtxdefinitions[apa] % load and activate list rendering \definebtxrendering[main][apa][dataset=main, pagestate=start] \starttext \cite[authoryear][testone] \cite[authoryear][testtwo] \cite[authoryear][testmany] \cite[authoryears][testone] \cite[authoryears][testtwo] \cite[authoryears][testmany] \subject{bib} \placebtxrendering[main][method=global] \stoptext Am Mi., 19.

It is difficult to answer your question because we don't know which specifications you use for your citations. You will have to provide a minimal example that allows us to see what you're doing.

Hi List,
I want the comma gone from “et al.” citations, and modify the cite alternatives:
* [authoryear]: (Surname, et al., 2018) → (Surname et al., 2018) * [authoryears]: Surname, et al. (2018) → Surname et al. (2018)
Also I’d like to configure how many names are the maximum before all except the first are replaced by “et al.” i.e. \setupcitething[maxauthors=3]: (One, Two, Three, & Four, 2018) → (One et al., 2018)
How can I do this? I didn’t find anything in the publications manual: http://pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/mkiv-publications.pdf
Best, Philipp
