Hi there,
My university has special requirements for the theses I submit. Layout, fonts etc. are pretty straightforward to set up in ConTeXt. The one part I'm struggling with is citations / bibliography. I have to use the german citation style with footnotes. Essentially the first time I cite something, I have to put the full entry in a footnote. From the second time on, I only have to put a shorter entry in the footnotes. I have two problems:
1. I created the publ-imp-deu.lua and publ-imp-deu.mkvi files. If I put them into the ~/bin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/ directory, I get the following two lines in the log: ``` publications > unknown library 'deu' publications > no data definition file 'publ-imp-deu.lua' for 'deu' ``` If I put them into the directory where my thesis is, they seem to get recognized, but I would very much like to reuse them and not have to copy them to each project directory. What am I doing wrong?
Try running mtxrun --generate to update the database. However, I think that texmf-context/... is a bad place to put local files because they can be overwritten by system update. It may be better to put them in $TEXMFHOME/tex/context/personal/... Aditya
