Greetings all, I'm leaning towards experimenting with the bib module to see if I can arrive at a usable "Semiotics Society of America" reference section, which is a historically layered style, along the lines of: --- PEIRCE, Charles S. 1859. "An Essay on the Limits of Religious Thought Written to Prove That We Can Reason Upon the Nature of God", MS 53, in W1:37-40 1982. Writings of Charles S. Peirce: a Chronological Edition, ed. Max Fisch, Peirce Edition Project. Five volumes. (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1982-98). TEILHARD de Chardin, Pr. P. 1961. (posthumously). Hymn of the Universe (New York: Harper & Row Torchbooks, English Edition, 1965). 1957. (posthumously). The Divine Milieu (New York: Harper & Row Colophon Books Edition, 1968). --- Aside from all the niggling details (which I'm sure could be worked out), is this kind of layout in general possible—all citations going by year underneath a single instance of the author? …or am I doomed to forever make these by hand? ;) Regards, David

I'd say it is doable, but not trivial. ;-) You need to use \setupbibtex[sort=author], of course. I you can make it come out like below (all that should be doable using just the documented features of the bib module), then I will help you 'compress' the repeating authors afterwards, ok?

Excellent, I'll take it up soon! Regards, David On Mar 23, 2005, at 12:43 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Hm. A quick question—is there a way to call "all true upper case" (instead of {\sc small caps})? I haven't been able to track this down in the usual places. For myself the small caps are preferable, but they're not "officially sanctioned" :). Regards, David On Mar 23, 2005, at 12:43 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

I have to guess a bit on what the 'official' ConTeXt way is to get all uppercase text, but I think this is it: \uppercased{all caps} Greetings, Taco
Great, that does the trick. Another quickie: This bib style demands that the first author/editor is "invertedauthor", while the subsequent authors/editors are "normalauthor", e.g.: WOOTEN, David and Charles M. SCHULZ and Kris KRINGLE. 2005. Adventures in Babysitting, etc. Is there currently the possibility of distinguishing between the first & subsequent authors? (From my preliminary investigations it looks like all authors automatically follow the declared style.) Regards, David P.S. This is a lot more fun than preparing for my exams!
