Dear all, The file below produces a bibliography using Mark II but only a title when using Mark IV. Have things changed or do I need a new approach? I am using Minimals. Thanks, Charlie \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[criterium=all,numbering=no] \setupbibtex[database={Kings},sort=author] \starttext \midaligned{\tfa Kingship References} \blank[2*big] \placepublications \stoptext

Indeed. Even though this is a bad example (next time, please send a complete working example, not code snippets - I don't have a database Kings.bib here), it shows a bug in mkiv. I tried the usual things - add a section command, add [criterium=all] to \placepublications, but this didn't help. Thomas

So I'll wait till I get a proper test -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Thomas and Hans, Thanks for looking at this and apologies for not sending the bib file. I attach a .tex file and a .bib file for Hans to test. I make my .bib file in BibDesk on the Mac (the preview style is abbrev). BibDesk uses LaTeX to produce the preview and that looks perfect. When I run the KingsTest.tex in ConTeXt Minimals Mark II I get proper output (I have two extra periods but that is probably my fault). When I run the same file using Mark IV I get the title only in the output. Thanks for looking into this. Charlie On 22 Oct 2010, at 10:15, Hans Hagen wrote:

I was just preparing a test file when yours arrived; this is a good minimal example. Hans, one request: to facilitate debugging bib-related problems (which seem to occur quite often), could we add one very small example .bib file to the minimals under context/tex/texmf-context/bibtex/bib I guess that would make it a lot easier. We can either take Charlie's file or one of the many small bib files that come with texlive. My suggestion would be to post this bib file on the wiki as well. We could then encourage users to add further entries as problems occur. Thomas

we could have a bib file that describes all context related publications but someone has to volunteer for that Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

You mean we have to wait till Idris finishes THE BOOK? Seriously: we need a sample of different publication forms - books, articles, incollections, electronical, etc. I'm quite willing to do this, but we need to have as much diversity as possible, 20 manuals from the pragma website is not yet a good test bed :-) Thomas

we have your articles, tutorials etc -) anyhow, just cook up something usable ..

The problem appears to be with \setuppublications[criterium=all] which may be ignored under mkiv. Alan

fixed in next beta ... it probably never worked in mkiv so it went unnoticed quite long ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Excellent - works now! Charles should look into the output; those spurious periods are not quite right, but I don't have time now to look into them. Thomas
