I am searching for a solution where I can use two different sources of bib files separately. I found that the same question was asked before at this mail list. Since it was few years old, could I ask if there is any new work done towards it?
Thanks! Peng
Hello Peng, For a Bibliography with separate sections you can use the following work-around: Suppose you want a section "primary sources", for which you have the bibfile, say, ps.bib, and a section "secundary sources", for which have the bibfile ss.bib. The first step is tro to make for each of them a .bbl-file with, what I would call, a "bbl-generator.tex": ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \setupbibtex[database=ps.bib,sort=author] %\setupbibtex[database=ss.bib,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] %or any other style \starttext \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This can be processed with mkii or mkiv. It generates a lot of auxiliary files, including an empty pdf, but the only important one is "bbl-generator.bbl", which you rename to ps.bbl or ss.bbl according to which of the two bib-files you used.(= did not comment out) The other files you need are two .tex-files with the complete set of \nocite[]'s of the two databases. Personally I never used \nocite{*}. If you use a Mac with BibDesk it is quite easy to make such a file. It gives you some extra flexibility. You can then generate the sectioned bibliography with: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \input(Your setups, including those for your Bibliography setup) \starttext \startchapter[bookmark=,label=,list=,marking=,reference=Bibliography,title={Bibliography} \section{Primary sources} \input ps.bbl \input ps-nocite.tex \placepublications[criterium=cite] \section{Secundary sources} \input ss.bbl \input ss-nocite.tex \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stopchapter \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That's all. I hope it works for you. Best regards, Robert Blackstone
