[NTG-context] Re: Bibliography cite

Thank you, Alan for the suggestion. I tried as you said: \cite[alternative=authoryears,righttext={{, p. 3}}][Knuth1984]. Yet the result is this: Knuth (1984), , p. 3 If I leave out the first comma, the result is: Knuth (1984), p. 3 Righttext probably refers to the text outside the parentheses. Thank you in advance, Robert.

Using the APA specification:

\usebtxdefinitions [apa]

you can then

\cite[alternative=authoryears,righttext={{, p.\nbsp 12}}] [Knuth1984] mentions ….

The tricky part concerning righttext= is the double {{ }}, needed because the text contains a comma. The reason for this is simple, as righttext is a comma-separated list, where each entry corresponds to a cited reference, as in \cite[righttext={a,b}] [ref1,ref2] so a is associated with ref1 and b is associated with ref2.

Dear List members, For my academic work with context I need the following cite according to Apa standards: Knuth (1984, p. 12) mentions …. The matrix is this: AUTHOR (YYYY, p.~n). I reckon this can somehow be accomplished with the \setupbtx command. (Standard these and other variants are possible: AUTHOR (YYYY) and AUTHOR YYYY, p. n.) I tried different setups: \setupbtx[apa:cite:authoryear], and \setupbtx[apa:cite:authoryears], I played with the lefttext, righttext and other options, but none of them give the desired result. Thank you for any suggestions. Regards, Robert @article{Knuth1984, author={Knuth, Donald E.}, title={Literate Programming}, journal={The Computer Journal}, Volume={27}, Number={2}, year={1984}, Pages={97--111}, }
