In mkIV the option seems mandatory too. Otherwise I get the empty brackets. But only the authoryear and authoryears works for me. Not authornum.
This is how I use it. (following the habit of using natbib in Latex)
\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex
[database={Manuscript},
sort=author]
\setuppublications[numbering=yes]
\def\LocalRefList {\subject{References}\placepublications[criterium=chapter, option=continue]}
\def\citet[#1]{\cite[authoryear][#1]}
\def\citep[#1]{\cite[authoryears][#1]}
The line
\def\LocalRefList {\subject{References}\placepublications[criterium=chapter, option=continue]}
worked in mkII but not in mkIV.
Best regards,
Salil

One cryptic line tells me:
"refcommand the default option for \cite"
just like that. Based on this, I'm guessing refcommand=key will let me write things like \cite[myFirstKey]. The manual goes on to clear up the confusion by explaining:
Well, no. You always use keys as arguments, the option controls the resulting output. It called an option because it controls the optional argument of \cite. A reference key is mandatory, because otherwise the whole command would be pointless.
\setuppublications[refcommand=key,alternative=apa,setupinteraction=start,numbering=yes]
Try \setuppublications[alternative=num] Best wishes, Taco ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl/ http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
