Bib-module: crossreferences
Hi Taco, Are crossreferences supposed to work in the new bib module? According to the Latex companion pp. 404ff. a crossreference can be made in an @inbook to a @book provided the @inbook precedes the @book in a .bib-file. If a @book is referenced at least two times by an @inbook, an entry for the @book is included in the reference list. In the new bibtex-module for Context, the crossreferences are resolved properly, I think, but the crossreferenced entry is not yet included in the reference list. I \cite[gould:1979] and \cite[rioch:1979], but lawrence:1979 doesn't appear in the reference list. Cheers, Roelof @inbook{gould:1979, author = "Gould, Laurence J.", crossref = "lawrence:1979", title = "Men and Women at Work: A Group Relations Conference on Person and Role", note = "See also \cite[rioch:1979].", pages = "111--122" } @inbook{rioch:1979, author = "Rioch, Margaret J.", crossref = "lawrence:1979", title = "The A.K. Rice Group Relations Conferences as a Reflection of Society", pages = "53--68" } @book{lawrence:1979, editor = "Lawrence, W. Gordon", title = "Exploring Individual and Organizational Boundaries.", publisher = "John Wiley \& Sons Ltd", year = 1979 }

No, this doesn't work, but I believe there is a workaround by putting \setbox\scratchbox={\hbox{\placepublications}} just before the normal \placepublications or \completepublications. (This works because it explicitly executes the embedded \crossref outside of the actual publication list) If that doesn't work or has undesired side-effects, you can do \setbox\scratchbox={\cite[lawrence:1979]} but that solution requires you to know the used cross references that appear in the bib file, whereas the first solution doesn't. I'll try to fix this in a week of so. You have to wait until after Idris' problems are solved, because I do not enough time right now to fix everything.

You do know that, generally speaking, the latex companion doesn't apply to the bib module, right? There are rumours about ConTeXt actually being LaTeX3, but I can assure you those are untrue :-)

Yes, but it happens too late to allow inclusion in the list. Cheers, Taco
