Hi Alan,
thanks for joining the discussion! Just to answer your two queries about
my setup:

Thomas,
Why would the definitions need to be loaded before \starttext?
The bibliographic data can be loaded independent of any rendering or
use definitions.
That's what I deduced from my experiments. When I load the definitions
in the xml setup of the root element, they are not loaded, but printed
verbatim to the pdf file. My deduction may be wrong - this is a pretty
complex setup, in which I produce slides, manuscript (in different
formats), handout, and bibliography all from the same xml source. So it
may be some interference/interaction of these complex parts that I don't
quite understand. I'll continue experimenting...
Also, why don't you write your custom definitions to
handle languages, rather than writing new definition sets based on
language?
There is one stumbling block that made me think I had to have two
separate setups (in addition to the fact that it makes the source
cleaner and easier to maintain): I copied publ-imp-apa.* and modified it
to suit my needs. Now for apa, editors and authors are included in one
set, e.g., in line 169-171:
categories.book = {
sets = {
author = { "author", "editor", "publisher", "title" },
}
In my German bibliography file, I distinguish between authored volumes
and edited volumes both for the presentation and for the sorting:
Author, Firstname: Title ...
as opposed to
Edited Volume, hrsg. von Firstname Editor ...
and I found that as long as I had this "set" line in my
publ-imp-style.lua file, I would always get
Editor, Firstname: Edited Volume, hrsg. von Firstname Editor ...
When I deleted the line, I could get what I wanted. So my inference was
that for my German bibliography, I needed a different lua and a
different publ-imp-.tex file. But maybe I was wrong and you have an
easier approach?
All best and thanks!
Thomas
