Dear all, I am in the process of learning how to use the bibliography mechanism in mkiv, and I would lik eto understand the meanings of the various parameters in the command: \setupbtxrendering [...,1,...] [..,..2=..,..] 1 NAME 2 textstate = start stop pagestate = start stop separator = COMMAND criterium = previous cite here all none filter = TEXT specification = NAME title = TEXT before = COMMAND after = COMMAND dataset = NAME method = dataset force local global none sorttype = short dataset list reference used default cite index repeat = yes no group = NAME numbering = yes no num index tag short page Indeed serveral of them are clear enough (such as dataset), some can be guessed by trial and error (such as numbering=yes or no) but some seem to me obscure or difficult to guess (what would numbering=page mean, or what would separator=COMMAND do, what does the title=TEXT corresponds to, etc). Has someone some examples to play with in order to learn the meaning of these options? Also, in real case document I would like to be able to typeset the bibliography with the following style: the autho's name is followed by a « : » the title of an article is in italic the title of a book is in slanted sans serif the number of the volume is in bold Is it possible to do this by an appropriate setting of btxrendering, without going into the BibTeX file? Thanks in advance for any help: OK
