This happens with all books. On looking at the source, I'm afraid I can't track down where it's coming from or how to fix it.

(2) Is it possible to use smart quotes in citations? For instance, for this book, authored by O'Donovan, I can enter the appropriately curly character between O and D in my bibtex file. But it comes out straight in the final document.

Can you tell what version of context you are using and post a short but complete example of your input? Neither problem sounds familiar, so I have to look at your actual code to see that is going on.

Best wishes, Taco

I can't reproduce the second problem, with the straight/smart quotes. Let's ignore it. The first problem, with the two periods after a book title, has been with me since at least last year. I can reproduce it with the following: [A] ConTeXt version. ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.6 int: english/english This is based TeXLive 2007, originally installed with the MacTeX installer and updated with cont-tmf,zip from pragma and the ppc- darwin binaries from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/osx-ppc/ texmf-osx-ppc/bin/. My understanding of TeX installations is not sophisticated. Perhaps I goofed. But everything seems to work.
