That's weird. It is probably a bug in Hans' reimplementation of the bib module for mkiv.

I've cc'd Hans in case he has something to offer on that.

But it is fairly simple to work around, using a new macro definition like this:

\unexpanded\def\mycite{\dodoubleempty\domycite} \def\domycite[#1][#2]% {\ifsecondargument \footnote{\cite[alternative=data,#1][#2]}% \else \footnote{\cite[data][#1]}% \fi}

Then \mycite[<key>] also inserts the \footnote command automatically, and you can still use \mycite[extras={...}][<key>].

That works awesome Taco. Thanks a lot. It doesn't matter that it can't accept multiple keys easily and put on their own lines, since it wouldn't make sense if you've got extra={} data to add anyways.

Perhaps, but I have never seen it done like that, and it takes more than a bit of programming to make the bibliography module do that. Sorry, no time for that.

It's ok. You've done more than enough.

No, you can't do that. Hans would have to write an extension for that, I do not even know where to start.
