In the context minimals' bib mod, \cite[alternative=data][...] fails with the following error: !

Btw. the current beta minimals don't contain the bib documentation (at least there is no PDF regarding bib in my whole context tree). Thanks in advance, Andreas Schneider.

Did this work earlier? It wouldn't surprise me if it was broken in older versions as well. As usual, a small selfcontained test file would be most helpful and would increase the chance of an actual solution by a fair amount. Best wishes, Taco

Sorry, I didn't want to imply that the problem was introduced in the latest version - it might as well be there for some time now. The last time I compiled the document in question was end of July. I attached a representative example document. Since details often matter: I need alternative=data to put the whole citation information into footnotes. So if alternative=data is not the right approach, I would be happy to learn how to do it better :) Best regards, Andreas.

Looks like a conversion error in the core module. The token list \initializebibdefinitions should not be executed at the start of \typesetpubslist, but at the start of every separate \dotypesetapublication. The two affected macros should ook like this for mark iv (bibl-tra.mkiv): \def\typesetpubslist {\dobeginoflist % \the\initializebibdefinitions % COMMENTED \edef\currentlist{pubs}% \doif{\listparameter\c!criterium}\v!cite {\setuplist[pubs][\c!criterium=\v!here]}% \ctxlua{bibtex.hacks.reset(\number\bibtexoncemode)}% \placestructurelist{pubs}% {\listparameter\c!criterium}{\listparameter\c!number}% \ctxlua{bibtex.hacks.flush("\@@pbsorttype")}% \doendoflist} \def\dotypesetapublication#1% {\bgroup \the\initializebibdefinitions % NEW \def\@@currentalternative{:l:}% \presetbibvariables \let\biblanguage\empty \ignorespaces \bibgetvard{#1}% \bibalternative{\bibgetvart{#1}}% \egroup} The change for mkii is similar but the macros are a bit different (bibl-tra.mkii) If you wrap these two definitions in \unprotect ... \protect, you can add them to your document preamble until the change appears in the next update. Best wishes, Taco

Thank you for fixing this so fast :) The support for ConTeXt is really impressive and imho much better then most commercial "alternatives" (although there probably is no real alternative to the typesetting capabilities of TeX). Thanks again and best regards, Andreas.
