Hello Taco,

Thanks for the help the other day. It fixed most of the problems. However, it seems that i cannot get the publication list numbered like:

[1]. pub1 [2.] pub2

Attached is what I did. Am I missing something? Thanks a lot. ---Fei

\usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[sorttype=cite, refcommand=number] \setupbibtex[database=c_intent] \setupcite[num] \setuppublicationlist[criterium=all] \setuppublicationlist[numbering=yes] \setuplist[pubs][criterium=all]

In this case, you also need \setuppublications[refcommand=number], to change the default alternative for \cite. Or you could have used \cite[number][xxx] in the text instead of the defaulted version.

Are you sure you want 'number' instead of 'num'?

2. either \completepublications or \placepublications wont show the

publication list at the end of the paper without using \setup[pubs][criterium=all].

This is a strange, but known, buglet. The cleanest way of fixing it is \setuppublicationlist[criterium=all]

...

3. \setuppublications[numbering=yes] fails to put a number before the

publication list at the end of the paper.

Try \setuppublicationlist[numbering=yes] ^^^^

...

I got the most updated m-bib.zip from http://texaanhet.net/bib/ and copied those file to my local hard drive at ...\texmf\tex\context\m-bib. Also I just updated my context to the new released version.

If you have the very.very latest ConTeXt, you no longer need my zipped files. The bib module is now included in the distribution.

Greetings and good luck,

Taco

Hello Taco,

Thanks for the help. The instructions you gave worked briefly for a few days. Some weird things happened after I re-installed my miktex and updated the context to the newest version (01/20/05).

here is what i did:

\usemodule[bib] \def\bracketed#1{[#1]}

\setuppublications [sorttype=cite, refcommand=num, numbering=yes, numbercommand=\bracketed]

\setupbibtex[database=c_intent] \setuppublicationlist[criterium=all]

It stops producing ''References" at the end of the text and stops generating the publication list. refcommand=num fails to generate the cite number. If changing to refcommand=number, then it will generate the cite number but still fails to produce the Reference section and no publication list.

Context seems more complicated than Latex.

Thanks a lot for the help!!

Best, Fei

Here's what you need:

\usemodule[bib]

\def\bracketed#1{[#1]} % adapt as desired

\setuppublications [sorttype=cite, % list by cite order refcommand=num, % cite list item no. numbering=yes, % display list item no. in list numbercommand=\bracketed] % show brackets

\setuppublicationlist[criterium=all] % for that bug

Greetings, Taco

This came up a while back...

...and now I have a similar problem.

I have this in my setup:

\usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[sorttype=cite] \setuppublications[criterium=used] \setuppublications[numbering=yes] \setuppublications[refcommand=number]

\setupcite[num][left=[, inbetween=-, right=]]

\setupbibtex[database=myBibTeXfile, sort=no]

I'm using \cite[Cite Key] (e.g. \cite[Bush2005a, Rice2005b] ) for my input file citations.

In my current headache file, My first citation in my input file has four individual references.

I would like to see:

blah blah [1–4] blah blah

I'm getting:

blah blah [113, 106, 78, 87]

These numbers generated are the database sequence numbers.

So, obviously I"ve got something wrong in my setup since I want the citations to start at (1) for the first citation and increment as new papers get called irrespective of their order in the .bib file.

I guess:

refcommand=number

and/or:

setupcite[num]

are inappropriate and/or something else is missing, but I can't find the magic combo.

I can't tell whether my "citation lists" are going to be compressed (assuming I have correctly surmised what "compressed" means), because I don't get any consecutive runs with the numbering "error". I could fake this to check whether the compression kicks in, but since I'm here already, maybe some fine ConTeXpert could comment on whether I'll get the desired e.g.

[2,5-7]

rather than:

[2,5,6,7]

once I get the numbering sorted out ?

wtia,

You need 'num' in both, or 'number' in both.

...as simple as that ?

Great.

I can only suggest that I was drawn to:

refcommand=number & setupcite[num]

because specifically these are suggested (albeit not as a combination) in the readme. In the interests of finding out whether I'm odd. Was anybody else led astray by this ?

compression

is turned on by default.

Fine.

Greetings, Taco.

PS. Sorry for delayed reply, I was at euroTeX past week.

No need to apologize.

thanks,

mark.
