1. BibTeX xrefs: Is it possible to get interactive references (maybe even with different colour than the global interaction color) from the \cite command to the referring entry in the publicationlist working at the moment?
What \cite style are you using? I can probably make something work quickly for all but the authoryear(s) style(s).
I'am using the following setup and referring to the .bib file by \cite[key]:
I have two different solutions available:
% for the 'official version': \def\dobibshort#1% {\addthisref{#1}\refsep \doifbibreferencefoundelse{#1}{\goto{\getvalue{@@pbs}}[#1]}{??}}
% for the beta: \def\dobibshortref#1% {\addthisref{#1}\refsep \doifbibreferencefoundelse{#1}{\goto{\getvalue{pbds-#1}}[#1]}{??}}
Put one of these (or even both) in your environment, somewhere after \usemodule[bib], and you should be set.
Great! Thats exactly what i'am looking for! :) Please make this available in the next release as option, perhaps to \setupcite? It is quite useful for reading large documents on screen when you're able to jump forward to the publication list and back to the referring text to read on (the backward jump requires reader support).
About those hyperlinks: it would normally be something like a chapter number, and it would link back to the chapter head itself. In a bibliography, it just points to itself, because the 'main reference' is the item in the list. Maybe I can make a link back to the first cited location. Would that make sense?
I'am not sure in which scenarios the reverse referencing to the first usage makes sense. Perhaps its more useful if the bibtex entry gets an associated list of forward references and make this list available for usage in \setuppublicationlayout. See the following exemplary publicationlist entry: [KKY03] D. Katz, K. Kompella, and D. Yeung. "RFC3630: Traffic Engineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2" (September, 2003). Status: PROPOSED STANDARD. Source: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3630.txt Pages: 23, 34, 37, 61 But I haven't neither an idea of the complexity to implement it nor of the realisability et al. What do you think of this idea? Makes it more sense to you than the "first cited reverse reference"? Thanks for your help Taco! :) Fabian
