Dear Taco,

autohang mode is (should be) using the 'samplesize' key from \setuppublicationlist in the bbl data to measure the required width. If altering that doesn't work, we will need a test file. Well, RTFM... but still it's not the way it probably should be. This is to be found in my bbl-file: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={NDVRT{\etalchar{+}}02},totalnumber=224] but it has no effect what so ever. If I copy: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={NDVRT{\etalchar{+}}02}] to my tex-file, however, it works. More RTFM?

Here an entry from my bbl-file: \startpublication[k=N.D.Vieira2002,t=article, a={{N.~D.~Vieira},{}},y=2002,o={10.1016/S0925-8388(02)00359-6}, n=137,s=NDVRT{\etalchar{+}}02] \artauthor[]{Jr.}[J.]{}{N.~D.~Vieira} \artauthor[]{I.~M.}[I.~M.]{}{Ranieria} \artauthor[]{L.~V.~G.}[L.~V.~G.]{}{Tarelhoa} \artauthor[]{N.~U.}[N.~U.]{}{Wettera} \artauthor[]{S.~L.}[S.~L.]{}{Baldochia} \artauthor[]{L.}[L.]{}{Gomesa} \artauthor[]{P.~S.~F.}[P.~S.~F.]{de}{Matosa} \artauthor[]{W.}[W.]{de}{Rossia} \artauthor[]{G.~E.~C.}[G.~E.~C.]{}{Nogueiraa} \artauthor[]{L.~C.}[L.~C.]{}{Courrolb} \artauthor[]{E.~A.}[E.~A.]{}{Barbosab} \artauthor[]{E.~P.}[E.~P.]{}{Maldonadoc} \artauthor[]{S.~P.}[S.~P.]{}{Morato} \pubyear{2002} \arttitle{Laser development of rare-earth doped crystals} \journal{Journal of Alloys and Compounds} \volume{344} \issue{1-2} \pages{231-239} \month{Oct} \stoppublication Thanks Hubertus

That is clearly a bug. Mkiv or mkii? I think I use texlive (current debian unstable). I also think I found the problem :) I've been using the http://pmrb.free.fr/work/OS/ConTeXt/e-phd.tex + project file and it seems that there's something wrong with the order of the commands. The original verion:

\startproduct prd_phd \project project_phd \starttext \setuppublications[alternative=apa, refcommand=short, autohang=yes, numbering=short, sorttype=bbl, criterium=all] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext \stopproduct This does not work. This, however, works: \setuppublications[alternative=apa, refcommand=short, autohang=yes, numbering=short, sorttype=bbl, criterium=all] \starttext \startproduct prd_phd \project project_phd \chapter{Bibliography} \placepublications[criterium=all] \stopproduct \stoptext So, I don't know if it's a bug or not or if it's the way it should be and was just an inattention by the one who wrote the original product-file. Cheers, Hubertus

Hello, I don't think, that \startproduct and \starttext are to be used together. When you have a single document, you put the text between \starttext and \stoptext and when you have a project-product-component structure, then you use \startproduct ... \stopproduct.

So, I don't know if it's a bug or not or if it's the way it should be and was just an inattention by the one who wrote the original product-file.

e-phd.tex is an environment file. Since it's about 5 years old, it's unlikely that it works with current context out of the box. It's just on the web-site, to show what settings I've used to get the resulting pdf-file. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
