Dear Taco,
I use the excellent BibTex module with this setup: \setupbibtex[database=biblio,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa,refcommand=short,sorttype=bbl,criterium=cited] So if I have something like this @ARTICLE{Akimoto2005, author = {R. Akimoto and B. S. Li and K. Akita and T. Hasama}, ... } in my *.bib file, the \cite[Akimoto2005] results in [ALAH05]. Is there a way to get only the first author with three letters and the year ([Aki05]) in the citation? Patch the generated .bbl file by hand. after its initial creation, it will not be modified by context itself anymore. May be I should have tried it first, before editting about 200 entries as you suggested. As far as I can judge from the timestamp, at my system the bbl file is generatet every time I run texexec. Have I missed something?
Oh boy, I am sorry! My fault! The *correct* recipe is: run once, so the bbl exists, then delete the \setupbibtex line from your source, then edit the bbl, then recompile. Feeling stupid, Taco
