Hello,
I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but do you directly edit a bbl
file? Normally, a .bib file is made by the user and ConTeXt (and LaTeX as well)
generate the .bbl file for you. Your example works for me using the following
code
\setupbibtex[database={library}]
\setuppublications[alternative=ams]
\starttext
Bla\cite{birn06}
\placepublications[criterium=all]
\stoptext
with a .bib file containing
@article{birn06,
author = {Dieter Birnbache},
title = {The Socratic method in teaching medical ethics: Potentials and
limitations},
year = {1999},
journal = {Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy},
volume = {2},
issue = {3},
pages = {219-224}
}
More information is on the wiki page:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography, e.g. why you do not need to use a
module any more.
