In the past (MKII) I used citations of the form:

\cite[extras={, p.~24}][Author:2016]

The extras option seems to be ignored by MKIV's bibliography system. What is the equivalent of the above?

lefttext= righttext=

It does not seem to work with my example. The output of the MWE below is: (Author, 2016 XXX) (Author, 2016) The comma seems the culprit. Nicola \setupinteraction [state=start] \usebtxdefinitions [apa] \startbuffer [bib] @article{Author:2016, author={Author}, year=2016, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset [bib.buffer] \starttext \cite[righttext={ XXX}][Author:2016] % OK \cite[righttext={, p.~22}][Author:2016] % Not ok \page \placelistofpublications \stoptext

Yes. Consider: \cite[righttext={{, p.~24},{, p.~xx}}] [Author:2016,Author2:2015] The comma gets parsed (as always) to separate multiple right texts, assigned here to each citation reference. The solution to your problem is: \cite[righttext={{, p.~24}}][Author:2016] Alternately (if you find the {{ }} strange), you can type \cite[righttext={\btxcomma p.~24}] [Author:2016] The macro \btxcomma also takes care of spacing.

I know I shouldn't be asking but answering questions on this topic, but here comes anyway: what is the magic incantation to have the righttext included within the brackets in authornum styles? So for \cite[righttext={{,\,100}}][Hagen] I want the result to look like Hagen [1, 100]. I tried \definebtx [default:cite:author:num] % todo [default:cite:authornum] [left={\btxleftbracket}, right={\currentbtxrighttext\btxrightbracket}] but I get Hagen [1], 100. Any pointers what I should try? Thomas
