Hello all, I am new on this list, trying these days to learn about context and considering switching from laTex to context. I have downloaded and unzipped the mbib package but not found *any* installation instructions, only some files plus a very brief README. So can anyone tell me what should I do with those. my TeX installation is teTeX TIA,
Hi,
Short answer: Leave them in the directory where your input files are.
Long answer:
The 'logical' place for the .TEX files would be
<temf-root>/tex/context/user
And for the .BST files:
<temf-root>/bibtex/bst/context
Both directories would need to be created if they do not exist.
<texmf-root> is a variable. You could use the main tree (/usr/share/texmf) assuming you are root on your machine, or (better) the 'local tree' (probably /usr/share/texmf-local), or even a private tree under your home directory ($HOME/texmf, handy if you have no rights on the machine).
After copying, you need to execute "mktexlsr" to make sure that the search database is updated.
Greetings, Taco

Hi Taco,
in which file can I change editor to Herausgeber page to Seite and to und ...
Thanks for help

Hi Bernd,
For now: you can change these in bibl-apa.tex or bibl-aps.tex, you should choose the one you actually use (probably bibl-apa).
Dont' forget to make copies first!
For Hans:
Hans, what is the clean solution to this problem? bibl-XXX.tex files use pieces of typesetting code along the lines of:
\insertpages{page }{. }{. }% #1=before. #2=after, #3=notfound
where the arguments (like "page ") are literal text to be typeset. Using the \interfaced command wouldn't work (because of embedded spaces and commas and such).
So, should I be using \labeltext one way or another?
\setuplabeltext [en] [pagebefore={page }] % etc ...
The downside of that is: it will need a lot of interface constant definitions ("pagebefore","pageafter","pagenotfound",'titlebefore' ...). Can you advise me?
Greetings, Taco

From the comments in mult-ini.tex, it seems the command was never meant for this purpose.

Personally, I'd even suggest bibpagebefore. You could provide \setupbiblabels to give shorter names for users to tweak.

There is also \assigntranslation, is that better?

Thanks Taco, that's actually quite *logical* for a latex user, I wasn't sure it was in a context context ;) cheers,
