Hello,

concerning the bib-module and the \cite command I've got two questions:

(1) The output in the text of the document should look like this: Goldstein (2003:95). The name of the author should be located on the outside of the brackets.

Goldstein refers to the name of the author, 2003 is the year of publication and 95 is the relevant page number. My approach until now: \cite[extras={:95}][G:2003] It generates the following output: (Goldstein 2003:95)

\setupcite [authoryear] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ und }, compress=yes, inbetween={ (}, left={}, right={)}]

(chapter 2.3 of the bib manual)

...

(2) The output in the text should look like this: (vgl. Goldstein 2003:95) My intention is to place the expression "vgl." in front of the authorname and inside of the brackets.

\setupcite [authoryear] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ und }, compress=yes, inbetween={ (vgl. }, left={}, right={)}]

HTH

Thank you for your answer. The first example works. The result is: "Goldstein (2003)" but unfortunately it is impossible to combine it with the [extras={:95}] option to get the page number behind the citation. If you type \cite [authoryear][extras={:95}] it won't work. Although I've tried it with the [authoryear,page] nothing works. The result of the second example is "Goldstein (vgl. 2003)". I've tried to use the left={} option instead, but nothing changed. \setupcite [authoryear] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ und }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={(vgl. }, right={)}] still leads to the result Goldstein (vgl. 2003) when I type in the command \cite [authoryear][G:2003]. It seems to be impossible to place something (like "vgl.") in front of the name of the author and inside of the brackets like (vgl. Goldstein 2003:95) I couldn't find anything specific about these problems in the bib-manual. Perhaps you or someone else can help me? Regards Martin
