I have reached the stage that I would like to include citations into my book, and I found the bib module at http://www.elvenkind.com/~taco/bibmod/ I think this is the latest publicly available version. (I know that Taco has an improved beta version though.)

I think I added the correct commands to my source files, and I have even figured out that I should put the files in the bib module distribution near my own tex files. Well, I've put them into $HOME/texmf/{tex/context/user,bibtex/bst}, as long as TeX can find them any place is ok.

Now, when TeXing the whole thing, I get a dummy citation at the right place, but no bibliography at the end. This is no miracle, as I didn't see bibtex running. From my LaTex prehistory, I would have expected that an .aux file is generated, which isn't. This should be the case: tex should create a \jobname.aux which simply causes a 'dump' of the the whole .bib file into .bbl

I understand that I have to run bibtex manually at some point, too. Yes, texexec --once file; bibtex file.aux; texexec file should work.

My layout file contains \setuppublications[numbering=yes,sort=author] This chooses the bst file ...

\setupbibtex[database=minbib,sort=author] And this should create a .aux file which asks for minbib.bib.

Sorry, I don't have any hint other than: It works for me: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=thesis] % use thesis.bib \setuppublications[alternative=aps] % you don't have the 'aps' choice, yet \setuppublications[numbering=yes,refcommand=num] Tobias

TeXShop and bib-module work fine here. __martin On Tuesday, Oct 28, 2003, at 10:15 Europe/London, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Yes, it is. Creating the aux file should just 'work'. Could it be that TeXShop deletes the intermediate straight away, perhaps believing it to be unnecessary? If that is not it, I do not know what else it could be. Perhaps you need a TeXShop/OS-X expert?

Hi,

One of the problems with the texmf tree is to get the right scripts/documents launched. On linux, runperl/runruby are used for that, on windows there was runperl.exe which is now irun.exe. Those scripts/apps work ok under most circumstances but not all (especially not when one has multiple trees and multiple instances of the tools).

So ... a few weeks ago I made a small tool:

http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmfstart.rb : for those who have ruby in their path http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmfstart.exe : for those who don't have ruby installed and are on windows http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mtexmfstart.pdf : for those who are interested

This tool permits things like (on windows): "texmfstart --browser examplap.pdf" but also calls like: "texmfstart texexec.pl optional arguments" and alike. Several search strategies are applied (see manual). The few of you who have seen the integrated context environment (around scite) already may have used this tool indirectly. I didn't yet test this new gimmick on linux but will do that asap.

The next thing that will be posted is 'texsync' which will synchronize your local minimal tex and/or context tree (or part of it, or (part) of the documentation) with the current distribution. (i'm playing with that right now).
