First of all, don't put any such formatting in the BibTeX file: that is
a LaTeX-style hack, and we have designed the ConTeXt system to avoid
any such need. The dataset should contain only data, and hacks should
be avoided.

There is some limitation to this. Say, for example that the title
contains mathematical symbols. One would be hard pressed not to include
dollar-sign delimiters and math syntax! Another example could be
"edition={second}" and "edition={2\high{nd}}". Of course, one could
introduce conversion sets (like for months), but this gets complicated.
How about "edition={second, revised with corrections}"?



    

    

    Indeed, it is hard to imagine a BibTeX file devoid of such markup.
    How would one indicate the (reverse) emphasis of a quoted book
    title, as in The Cambridge Companion to Ulysses, except by
    indicating the emphasis of "Ulysses" and letting ConTeXt reverse it
    when emphasizing the complete title? (ยง4.21 of the APA2013 spec
    requires this.)
