Hello,
I’m trying to create my first publication using ConTeXt mkiv. All going well except for the bibliography formatting.
Previously I have used LaTeX, standard entry types in BibTeX, and custom output formats using Biblatex.
My publication cites lots of historical sources, viz.: (1) Newspaper articles — currently stored as ‘article’ types in BibTex. (2) Archival sources (historic letter, some leather-bound volume, a catalogued box of old photographs, etc.) — currently stored as ‘unpublished’ or ‘misc'.
I would prefer to store these (in BibTeX, buffer, lua, or xml) as custom types (eg. ‘newspaper’, ‘archivalItem’), create setups for how they are output and which fields I output.
I found a ’newspaper’ type (and other non-BibTeX types) defined in publ-imp-apa.mkiv as:
\startsetups btx:apa:list:newspaper \fastsetup{btx:apa:list:article} \stopsetups
I hoped this would mean I could output something: Boxing. (1903, September 13). The Sunday Times, p.8
However, if I create an item of type 'newspaper’ and \cite it I get an output of all stored fields: newspaper: [day: 13] [journal: {The Sunday Times}] [month: 09] [pages:8][title: {Boxing.}] [type: newspaper article] [year: 1903] A similar thing happens if I try to cite the standard BibTeX type ‘misc’.
If I store the newspaper item as type ‘article’ I get: “Boxing.”, The Sunday Times, 8, 1903. (missing day and month)
Is it relevant that there is a problem when I include \showbtxfields[rotation=30] in my document? The resulting table has ‘*’ for fields in ‘article’, ‘book’, ‘demo-a’, ‘demo-b’ but the columns for ‘newspaper’ and ‘misc’ are empty.
Any pointers gratefully received.
Cheers,
Mike O’Connor
P.S. I am working in TeXShop on OSX (10.11.3), and it reports: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2016.3.19 int: english/english

sorry for delay, you email was marked as deferred (new account) and we were busy due the texlive deadline.
G’Day,
Having a first go at converting TEI XML to ConTeXt.
Steep learning curve, but easier (for me) than XSLT, and first results were amazing. Using http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf as a guide.
Currently stuck on converting an ISO format date (eg. 1908-01-10) into something more readable (eg. 10 January 1908) in the output. I presume I should create a function (?luacode) that can take any ISO value and output the readable form. The following works but seems to me inefficient.
Grateful for any pointers.
Mike
Here is my MWE:
\startbuffer[demo] <TEI> <text> <body> <div type="letter"> <opener> <date when-iso="1908-01-10" type="divDate">10.I.08</date> </opener> <closer> <date when-iso="1908-03-19" type="secondDate">19 Mar '08</date> </closer> </div> </body> </text> </TEI> \stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{date}{xml:date} \stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize}
\startxmlsetups xml:date \xmldoifelse {#1}{.[@type='divDate']} { \def\docdate{\ctxlua{ local tyear = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',1,4) local tmonth = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',6,7) local tday = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',9,10) context.date{d = tday, m = tmonth, y = tyear} }} \docdate[day,month,year] = Document Date \par } { \def\docdate{\ctxlua{ local tyear = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',1,4) local tmonth = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',6,7) local tday = string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{when-iso}',9,10) context.date{d = tday, m = tmonth, y = tyear} }}
\docdate[day,month,year] = Event Date\par } \stopxmlsetups
\starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext

You mean the () around the split? weird. Anyway, there's also a time splitter (dedicated to Alan who needed one):
print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("2019-03-05 12:12:12"))) print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("2019/03/05 12:12:12"))) print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("05-03-2019 12:12:12"))) print(os.time(utilities.parsers.totime("05/03/2019 12:12:12")))
inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("2019-03-05 12:12:12")) inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("2019/03/05 12:12:12")) inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("05-03-2019 12:12:12")) inspect(utilities.parsers.totime("05/03/2019 12:12:12"))
