Hi,

When using refcommand=authoryears and Mk IV the first reference is formatted incorrectly.

There is the left parenthesis, then a line break, then the rest of the reference followed by the right parenthesis.

Here is the cause: the first \cite in mkiv internally runs \usepublications[\jobname]. This inputs bib-test.bbl, which contains a \par, and that is where the new line comes from.

A workaround is to add

\usepublications[\jobname]

in the document preamble.

It works in mkii because in mkii, that command is executed at \starttext.

For Hans: perhaps \usemodule[bib] should run the command? I know that is supposed to be obsolete, but I assume you do not want to use the odd logic from mkii in mkiv.

Best wishes, Taco

That solves both the problems I noted. Thanks! mjg
