The bibdemo.tex example on the Wiki
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography> fails with complaints about
\newcommand being undefined. The problem is that xampl.bib (which here
is /usr/share/texmf-tetex/bibtex/bib/base/xampl.bib on this teTeX 3.0
distribution) has this:
@preamble{ "\newcommand{\noopsort}[1]{} "
# "\newcommand{\printfirst}[2]{#1} "
# "\newcommand{\singleletter}[1]{#1} "
# "\newcommand{\switchargs}[2]{#2#1} " }
So bibtex puts those LaTeX commands at the top of the .bbl file, and
ConTeXt doesn't know about \newcommand. A temporary workaround is to
define those commands by hand (see below). A better workaround is to
define \newcommand. latex.ltx has a long and involved one, but maybe
there's a nicer ConTeXt way?
Meanwhile, the following example works (context version 2006.04.17 23:14):
\usemodule[bib]
\def\newcommand#1[#2]#3{}
\newcommand{\noopsort}[1]{}
\def\noopsort#1{}
\def\printfirst#1#2{#1}
\def\singleletter#1{#1}
\def\switchargs#1#2{#2#1}
\setupbibtex[database=xampl]
\starttext
As \cite[article-full] already indicated, bibtex is a \LaTeX-centric program.
\completepublications
\stoptext
I'll put this version on the wiki, if there's no clean solution (unless
I've missed an easy fix to the \newcommand problem).
