[NTG-context] bibliography: alignment of first hanging lines in publications list, hyphenation

[Jörg Weger]

I looked in the wiki for “descriptions” and found this:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdescriptions

I played around a lot with the parameters from there in \setupbtxlist, 
but the problem remains. The only way to get hanging indentation is 
\setupbtxlist[alternative=hanging] and no matter what else I change the 
respectively first lines of every publications list entry are not 
aligned to the very left of the full text width :(

Maybe it has something to do with the numbering?

If I use \setupbtxrendering[numbering=yes] the numbers are aligned 
properly to the very left while the following beginnings of the entries 
are not. Maybe the problem is that the numbers are only “hidden”, but 
not really “deleted”? (Excuse my probably incorrect use of terminology.)

For comparison I tried the old mechanism again:


\setupbibtex[database={<BibTeX_file>},sort=author]

\setuppublications[alternative=apa]

\starttext

\title{Literaturverzeichnis}

\placepublications[criterium=all]

\stoptext


Here the hanging first lines of each entry align with the title at the 
very left.

I can live with the actual state of the new mkiv mechanism for now as my 
lecturers’ eyes will be blinded by the remaining perfect ConTeXt layout :)

But in future it would be great to have a real hanging indentation in 
the publications list according to the definition that in hanging 
indentation in contrary to normal indentation all but the very first 
line (which starts as a normal line at the very left) are indented.

Greetings Jörg

PS: By the way, Did I thank you for making this great software freely 
available and for the great quick support on the mailing list?
