Salve Taco, I'm using m-bib, with \setupbibtex[database=literatur,sort=author] \setuppublications[sort=bbl,refcommand=authoryear,numbering=yes] This leads to three problems: First, I do have entries such as @Misc{Wikipedia, key = {Wikipedia}, title = {Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia}, howpublished = {\gotoURL{http://wikipedia.com}} } with no year entry, and this comes out as "Wikipedia ()". I think the parens should only be used if the year is nonempty. Second, I getempty entries in my list of references, which do get a number. Also, the first 20 numbers are printed in red, while the subsequent entries are in black. I know this is a vague description, I haven't been able to analyze it in more detail yet. Just wanted to let you know. Third, I have entries in my bibliography where the authors are listed with their family names only. This causes spurious commas in the list of references. I'll probably add initials and/or chrisitan names where I know them, but I think m-bib should support these entries. @inproceedings{corless97sequence, author = "Corless and Jeffrey and Knuth", title = {{A Sequence of Series for the Lambert {W} Function}}, booktitle = "{ISSAC}: Proceedings of the {ACM} {SIGSAM} International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (formerly {SYMSAM}, {SYMSAC}, {EUROSAM}, {EUROCAL}) (also sometimes in cooperation with the Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation Groupe in Europe ({SAME}))", year = "1997", url = "citeseer.ist.psu.edu/corless97sequence.html" } As an aside: Does m-bib provide a way of including page numbers etc. in the citation? (For authoryear style, this would be overkill, but for other styles, I think "[233, p. 40]" to be pretty readable and helpful.) regards and keep up the good work, Christopher

Side note: The Oxford Guide to Style suggestes for online publication to add something like "accessed 23 November 2004".

Regarding the colours and maybe completely unrelated: I remember such things when interaction is turned on for elements with are on the same or on a different page. In that case it helped to set \setupinteraction[color=blue].

Maybe something like (untested): \setupcite[num][left={},right={}] \def\pagecite[#1][#2]{[\cite[num][#1], p.~#2]} Tobias
Hi,
Christopher Creutzig
with no year entry, and this comes out as "Wikipedia ()". I think the parens should only be used if the year is nonempty.
In authoryear styles, year entries are usually required, so I am going to keep this as it is now. You can either use \cite[author] for this case, or you could build your own \cite command, in a similar way to Tobias' answer: \setupcite[author,year][left={},right={}] \def\mycite[#1]{% \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\cite[year][#1]}% \ifdim \wd\scratchbox > 0pt \cite[author][#1]~(\cite[year][#]1)% \else \cite[author][#1]% \fi} (untested code)

Too vague for a diagnosis, actually. You'd need to supply me with a minimal complete file that recreates the error. There is nothing I can do with your information right now.
Third, I have entries in my bibliography where the authors are listed with their family names only. This causes spurious commas in the list of references. I'll probably add initials and/or chrisitan names where I know them, but I think m-bib should support these entries.
I really should, i agree. Added to the todo list. Greetings, Taco

Sorry for bothering you that much. I'm now using \cite[author], yet there is one place I can't solve that way, which is cross references: @Article{dominus04, author = {Mark Jason Dominus}, title = {Slide Rule}, journal = {Wikipedia}, year = 2004, crossref = {Wikipedia}, month = May, note = {\gotoURL{http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Slide_rule&oldid=3849585}} } @Misc{Wikipedia, key = {Wikipedia}, title = {Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia}, howpublished = {\gotoURL{http://wikipedia.com}} } Not that I plan to use really many wikipedia entries, but the problem as such seems to exist. (I am not sure about using @Article here, but that's another topic.) As an aside, there is another problem: The entry cross-referenced to does not appear – this seems to be a general problem with cross-references. I'm using \completepublications, but the same happens with \placepublications. (I haven't managed to get the list sorted by author, either.) Another thing I stumbled upon: Using \type{whatever} in a BibTeX entry does not work: “whatever” is simply ignored. (It is intact in the .bbl file, as in \startpublication[k=Kulpa,t=misc, a={Kulpa},y=2004, n=40,s=Kul04] \author[]{Zenon}[Z.]{}{Kulpa} \pubyear{2004} \month{6} \pubname{{message \type{200406071815.UAA18036@zmit1.ippt.gov.pl} on the mailing list \type{reliable_computing@interval.louisiana.edu}}} \stoppublication where I'm using \type because of the _.) Finally, the entry \startpublication[k=abramowitz,t=book, a={Abramowitz and Stegun},y=1972, n=30,s=AS72] \editor[]{Milton}[M.]{}{Abramowitz} \editor[]{Irene~A.}[I.~A.]{}{Stegun} \pubyear{1972} \title{{Handbook of Mathematical Functions}} \pubname{Dover Publications} \edition{ninth} \stoppublication is indented by about one interword space relative to the entries not using \editor. Which commands do the actual typesetting of the list entries? I only got to \@@pbt and was lost ... regards, Christopher Creutzig
