Spacing after \cite

10 Mar 2009

      Hi Taco,

Normally, while using \cite one does not need to worry about adding an 
explicit space after the command. So, you can write "\cite[something] says 
...." rather than "\cite[something]\ says ...". But something has changed 
in core ConTeXt which has changed this behaviour.

Consider the test file:

\usemodule  [bib]
\setuppublications    [alternative=num]

\starttext
Test~\cite[something] is wrong
\stoptext

I have two versions of ConTeXt. With ConTeXt  2009.01.18 (which has t-bib
version=2008.10.27), I get (notice the space after [] and is)

%-----------
Test [] is wrong
%-------------

With ConTeXt 2009.03.09  (which has t-bib version=2008.12.01) I get 
(notice that there is no space after [] and is)

%-----------
Test []is wrong
%-------------

The behaviour is the same whether I use pdftex or luatex. There is no 
major difference between the two versions of t-bib. The changelog says

%D \item Catalan translation of 'References' (10/11/2008)
%D \item 'chapter' -> 'chapitre' in bibl-apa-fr (27/11/2008)
%D \item Run bibtex via os.execute in  mkiv modee (01/12/2008)

So I am guessing that the difference is because of something else, but I 
cannot see any differences.

Any suggestions?
