I have a tiny feature request.
I would like to have a separate "bibliography" for, say, list of figures. Basically all I ask for is the ability to have a separate "named" bibliography as opposed to a single list.
no big deal in mkiv i guess
But maybe I need to elaborate a bit more before sending request. It makes no sense to implement it in the wrong and unstatisfactory way.
.... Just to mention it before I forget.
so how would that look at the input end? an extra key?
I should think about it a bit. But just a few possibilities ... At the moment I use: \startpublication [k=xy, t=xy] .... \stoppublication Options are: 1.) \startpublicationlist[images] or \startpublications[images] or ... \startpublication[k=xy,t=xy] .... \stoppublication ... \stoppublicationlist 2.) \startpublication[k=xy,t=xy,list=images] .... \stoppublication 3.) \startpublication[images][k=xy,t=xy] .... \stoppublication And then \placepublications[list=images] Then \cite would work in exactly the same way (one would not need to provide any extra key to cite itself). But one would need to think of a proper model to number the references. That is: it would have to be configurable to be able to either number images with roman instead of arabic numerals (or with a, b, c, ...), or to prepend something, like [img1], [img2], [img3] instead of [1], [2], [3]. Or simply let the user do "in \cite{figure}[xy]", or to number images with numbers bigger than other references. For example: Books: [1] [2] [3] Articles: [4] [5] [6] [7] Images: [8] [9] or Books: [1] [2] [3] Articles: [a1] [a2] [a3] [a3] Images: [i1] [i2] or any other user-configurable option for numbering ... However, having a properly designed model is better than having some ad-hoc solution that turns out not flexible enough or clumsy to use and buggy later on ... And yes, something that would allow splitting references across sections could just as well be used for this. It just needs to be designed properly ... (But section-based bibliography could work without any extra key, right?) And no, please don't count it as bug report. I just mentioned it because Hans wanted to have "a big bunch of everything at a single place". I suggest to reopen the topic and create exact specification before the actual implementation. Mojca
