[This must be a FAQ, and if so I'll put it on the wiki] I tried to force an active hyperlink to be part of a bibliography entry. If the bibliography style file for that entry type uses it, maybe it will work. But I wanted to put it in the 'note' field so that I could add it to most entries. e.g. @Book{HPL:2000, editor = {John D. Barnsford and Ann L. Brown and Rodney R. Cocking}, title = {How people learn: Brain, mind, experience, and school.}, publisher = {National Academy Press}, year = 2000, address = {Washington, DC}, edition = {expanded}, note = {http://www.nap.edu} } As above, the URL comes out normal (i.e. not hyperlinked). I couldn't get the 'biburl' field to do the magic (even with \setupinteraction started), maybe because I'd need to reprogram the .bst to use it. Also various combinations of \useURL and \goto did not work. e.g. This failed: \useURL[someurl][http://www.someurl.org][][http://www.someurl.org] @Book{HPL:2000, {... note = {\goto[someurl]} ... } That fails with ! Argument of \dogoto has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \doattributes ...name #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4} \dostopattributes <argument> ...esetapublication {HPL:2000}\strut }} \egroup \ifdim \wd 4=\zero... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \dosomelistelement ...hss \dostoplistattributes }} \endgraf \nointerlineskip ... ... l.208 \placepublications[criterium=all] Any thoughts appreciated! -Sanjoy `Intellectual property is intellectual theft.'

Well, I use url = {http://www.nap.edu} and have in my local environment something like: %copied from bibl-a*.tex \setuppublicationlayout[article]{% in your case book [...] \insertdoi{ doi:}{.}{}% \insertbiburl{ }{.}{}% <--- added [...] } In addition, you need to patch t-bib.tex. I have the following changes in mine which should be also (in some form) in the next release of Taco's module: --- /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/bib/t-bib.tex 2006-12-08 12:46:44.000000000 +0100 +++ /system/home/tob/texmf/tex/context/bib/t-bib.tex 2007-04-19 13:42:17.000000000 +0200 @@ -497,10 +497,15 @@ \processcommacommand[\bibcommandlist]\simplebibdef +\def\insertdoi#1#2#3% + {{\bibdoifelse{\@@pb@doi}% + {\edef\ascii{\@EA\detokenize\@EA{\@@pb@doi}}% + #1\expanded{\gotoDOI{\@@pb@thekey}{\ascii}}#2}{#3}}} + \def\insertbiburl#1#2#3% - {{\bibdoifelse{\@@pb@biburl}% - {\edef\ascii{\@EA\detokenize\@EA{\@@pb@biburl}}% - #1\@EA\hyphenatedurl\@EA{\ascii}#2}{#3}}} + {{\bibdoifelse{\@@pb@biburl}% + {\edef\ascii{\@EA\detokenize\@EA{\@@pb@biburl}}% + #1\expanded{\gotoURL{\@@pb@thekey}{\ascii}}#2}{#3}}} \def\insertmonth#1#2#3% {\bibdoifelse{\@@pb@month}% @@ -641,7 +646,7 @@ \ifnum \numexpr\scratchcounter-1\relax<#2\relax \getvalue{\??pv data#1}##1% \ifnum \scratchcounter=#2\relax - \ifnum\etallimitcounter<\commalistsize \bibalternative{#1etaltext}\fi + \ifnum\etallimitcounter<\commalistsize\relax \bibalternative{#1etaltext}\fi \else \ifnum\numexpr\scratchcounter+1 = #2\relax \ifnum \commalistsize > \plustwo \bibalternative\c!finalnamesep \else \bibalternative\c!lastnamesep \fi @@ -1636,7 +1641,9 @@ \def\gotoDOI#1#2% {\ifbibinteractionelse - {\useURL[bibfoo#1][http://dx.doi.org/#2]\goto{\url[bibfoo#1]}[url(bibfoo#1)]} + {\useURL[bibfooDoi#1][#2]% + \useURL[bibfoo#1][http://dx.doi.org/#2]% + \goto{\url[bibfooDoi#1]}[url(bibfoo#1)]} {\hyphenatedurl{#2}}} \def\bibdoiref[#1]%

There will be a bugfix release a week or two after this year's eurobachotex, with this patch included as well as a number of other items in my backlog. Best wishes, Taco
Tobias, Thanks for the patches. I put them together but didn't get a url at all in the reference. But, the patch to t-bib.tex caused 'patch' to complain: patching file t-bib.tex patch: **** malformed patch at line 3: --- 498,497 ---- So I patched it by hand, and maybe the problem lies in that I messed up the hand patching of t-bib.tex. Could you send me the patch (either on- or off-list) as an attachment? Then I'll try again, and if that fails I'll post a minimal example and only wikify once it's working. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
Thanks for the minimal example you sent me (offlist), which worked great.
If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!
I modified it only slightly and have wikified it at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography#Active_URLs. When the patched t-bib.tex is part of the ConTeXt release, I'll modify the wiki directions accordingly. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
