Joel,
I've attempted to incorporate most of these features for the SBL citation
style (which derives most of the same rules from Chicago) for ConTeXt. You
can use my code in https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl as a template
for now, if you'd like; we're still waiting for the code to be incorporated
into a future ConTeXt update. Regarding the specific features you described:
(1) The rules for first name-last name authorconversions and et al. limits
for inline citations (i.e., ones in the text/footnotes, but not in the
bibliographic list) can be implemented using the general
\definebtx[chicagonum:\s!cite] command. In publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, I do this as
follows:
\definebtx
[sbl:\s!cite]
[sbl]
[\c!alternative=footnote, % by default, SBL uses footnote citation format
(defined below)
\c!otherstext={\btxspace\btxlabeltext{others}}, % use et al. for
truncated author / editor list
\c!etallimit=3, % don't use et al. for 3 or fewer authors
\c!etaldisplay=1, % but if there are > 3, then only list the first
explicitly
\c!etaloption=last,
\c!authorconversion=\v!normal, % by default, use normal name order for
in-text citations
...
]
(2) SBL also uses short-form citations for inline citations after the first
one. To make these work, it ended up being easiest to create distinct
\fastsetups for an "inlineshort" style. Here is how I handled the citation
of the author in such instances in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi :
\starttexdefinition btx:sbl:inlineshort:author
\btxdoif{author} {
% If the useidem option is set and this author matches the previously
cited author, then just print "idem";
% otherwise, print the author/editor's last name
\doifelse{\btxparameter{useidem}} {\v!yes} {
\texdefinition{btx:sbl:doifsamefoundnameauthorelse}{\currentbtxtag}{\getvariable{btx:sbl}{previousinlinetag}}
{
\btxlabeltext{sbl:idem}
} {
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield
}
} {
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield
}
\btxcomma
}
\stoptexdefinition
(3) I haven't implemented support for ibid. tracking (it's on a wishlist
that I sent to Hans and Alan, as it would best be handled by changes to the
core publication support module), so I'm afraid I can't help you on that at
the moment. There is some placeholder code in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi for
handling this when ibid. tracking is eventually implemented, so you might
be able to use that as a template.
(4) To get the "inverted first author" authorconversion working, I had to
create new authorconversions for this. You can find this in the updated
publ-imp-author.mkvi file in my GitHub repo:
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
Then, in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, I invoke this setup in the \btxsetup for
citations in the bibliographic list as follows:
\definebtx
[sbl:\s!list:author]
[sbl:\s!list]
[\c!authorconversion=invertedfirst,
\c!separator:names:4={\btxcomma\btxlabeltext{and}\space}] % between only
2 names
I hope this helps!
