I was typesetting bibliography references with the command \cite[data][ref] and then found that a spce preceded the author name; surrounding the space with X and Y, it gives "X Yauthor" instead of "XYauthor I was able to trace it down to the macro invertedshortauthor in thise case, but I suspect the others (invertedauthor, normalauthor, normalshortauthor) will exhibit the same phenomenon.
I hate to tell you this because you spent so much time on it, but this has been adressed in the beta already.
Never mind, such things happen. And its good to see I am still able to trace my way down a TeX-problem (although it took a good part of the morning, bit rusty I guess). But I willwait for the patch to come out in the regular ConTeXt distribution; there was a time I was eager to grab betas, but for this moment production stability has higher priority.
Finally another observation on the typesetting by \cite[data][ref]. When typesetting a reference ending on a period, for example "Publ. Co. Inc.", the result has a double period "Publ. Co. Inc.." That looks somewhat silly.
I'll saee what I can do about that, but it is a bit harder to fix.
Yes, I guess it is a lot harder. That's why I commented somewhat cautiously. But it would be nice if it can be done. I am a bit of a perfectionist! yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer
