Hi all, not really a question about specific code, but I need an idea: I have a fairly large bibliographical list which is generated from an even larger bibtex database. Now, I want to quote some of the items from this list on my slides, but I want to retain the original numbering in the list, like so: the list: [1] item A [2] item B [3] item C the slide: [2] item B [3] item C Can anyone suggest an approach for this? Or is this impossible with bibtex, and I have to typeset the slides manually? Thanks, and best Thomas

There is \placepublications[option=continue], but that requires quite a bit of black magic with faked sections and boxes that you have to throw away. Much easier to typeset the slide by hand, I believe. (If it was all through a large document, I would propose to fixup the bbl file by changing the 'serial' keys by hand (that is the 'n' key to \startpublication) and use those are numbering instead of an autogenerated number. ) Best, Taco

Hi Taco, thanks for your reply - even if it's bad news... One thought: I could use the same bbl file for all my presentations, right? And then fix the numbering in there. But unfortuntately, as far as I understand, the .bbl always contains the entire database, not just the quoted references. Can this behavior be influenced? Best Thomas

You can delete what you don't need, but everything is always exported from bibtex. For the bib module, the .bbl _is_ the database. It considers .bib to be just another data representation format. Cheers, Taco

It would be nice to have an option which only puts the cited references into the .bbl file. Now if I use the authoryear option and I have two references from the same author in the same year, I get either "Author (2007a)" or "Author (2007b)" and not "Author (2007)" in the bibliography if I only cite one of them in my document. Now I have to remove one of the references manually from either the .bib or .bbl files, which is certainly not a disaster, but I do not have to do this with LaTeX+BibTeX. Would this be possible?

Have you tried the "maybeyear=off" option in \setuppublicationlist? That was meant to take care of such problems. But I agree that this would be a nice option. Would it be possible to filter the bbl file through the cite-keys found in *.tuo? Thomas

Sure, I have that on the 'todo' list already. But my schedule is a bit overconstrained, and I never seem to get around working on the module. So unless someone else wants to help out, the next release of the module may not be until somewhere in 2008. Best wishes, Taco
