Re: [NTG-context] Multiple bibliographies (bib-module, mkiv)
On 7 Apr 2014, at 12:00 , Peng Zhang
I am searching for a solution where I can use two different sources of bib files separately. I found that the same question was asked before at this mail list. Since it was few years old, could I ask if there is any new work done towards it?
Thanks! Peng
Hello Peng, For a Bibliography with separate sections you can use the following work-around: Suppose you want a section "primary sources", for which you have the bibfile, say, ps.bib, and a section "secundary sources", for which have the bibfile ss.bib. The first step is tro to make for each of them a .bbl-file with, what I would call, a "bbl-generator.tex": ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \setupbibtex[database=ps.bib,sort=author] %\setupbibtex[database=ss.bib,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] %or any other style \starttext \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This can be processed with mkii or mkiv. It generates a lot of auxiliary files, including an empty pdf, but the only important one is "bbl-generator.bbl", which you rename to ps.bbl or ss.bbl according to which of the two bib-files you used.(= did not comment out) The other files you need are two .tex-files with the complete set of \nocite[]'s of the two databases. Personally I never used \nocite{*}. If you use a Mac with BibDesk it is quite easy to make such a file. It gives you some extra flexibility. You can then generate the sectioned bibliography with: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \input(Your setups, including those for your Bibliography setup) \starttext \startchapter[bookmark=,label=,list=,marking=,reference=Bibliography,title={Bibliography} \section{Primary sources} \input ps.bbl \input ps-nocite.tex \placepublications[criterium=cite] \section{Secundary sources} \input ss.bbl \input ss-nocite.tex \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stopchapter \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That's all. I hope it works for you. Best regards, Robert Blackstone
Hi Robert, Thank you very much for this workaround! It does work. Would it be possible that I can make two fake/invisible sections? (without showing primary sources and secondary sources in your example) I am doing my CV. I just want two separate reference lists, one for journal and one for published abstracts. I am copying the CV template from wiki. \definehead[CVHEAD][subject] \setuphead[subject][style=\bfa,after={\blank[medium]}] \definehead[SUBCVHEAD][subsubject] \setuphead[subsubject][style=\bf,after={\blank[small]},before={\blank[small]}] I want something like \CVHEAD{References} \SUBCVHEAD{Pulished Journal Articles} list 1 \SUBCVHEAD{Pulished Abstracts} list 2 Could I put two fake/invisible sections within those subcvhead?
