Re: [NTG-context] Adding webpage to the bibliography entries
Hi, (back to mailing list only) Hans Hagen wrote: ConTeXt is going to undertake some work concerning the bibliography, it might be a good idea to consider how that work might tie in with Bibulus or MLBibTeX, or both. I've been considering XBib as well: http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net XBib is much more of a professional approach, with interfaces to Docbook and MODS (as opposed to bibtex and TeX). I will probably end up creating a context-centric XML 'bbl' database definition that has interfaces (through texexec) to all of those bibliographic systems (if they can be coaxed into operability with a non-XML, non-LaTeX application, that is). But I have to find the time to do this, and that has turned out to be a problem so far. Cheers, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Adding webpage to the bibliography entries
Hello, (mostly) Taco, I don't know what the whole functionality of the urlbst (CTAN/biblio/bibtex/contrib/urlbst/) package is, but it offers an entity @webpage for bibiliography style, with url, author, title, year, lastchecked and note. I think it also adds a field url to every(?) other entity. It would be great to be able to use something like \cite[url][our nice garden], which would be equivalent to something like \useURL[bib:our nice garden][http://contextgarden.net][][http://contextgarden.net] \from[bib:our nice garden] and also add URLs to the list of publications (if requested) at the end of the file. Support would probably only make sense in the ConTeXt-wrapped bibliographies (actually is url often already present in usual bib files). Perhaps some other users have some more comments/suggestions about it. Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Adding webpage to the bibliography entries
In the context of bibligraphies, I have been looking at two topics that were the subject of presentations at one of the last TUG meetings, namely, Bibulus MLBibTeX Bibulus interests me because it creates bibliographies directly in XML. MLBibTeX interests me because of its extended encoding (it is billed as European style bibliography). In either case, at this time they are for developers only: neither is ready for prime time use (though you can download packages and play with them). On the other hand, they seem to be getting *very* close to prime time readiness. Conclusion: if ConTeXt is going to undertake some work concerning the bibliography, it might be a good idea to consider how that work might tie in with Bibulus or MLBibTeX, or both. This said as an after thought to what Mojca said. Best, elena ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

This said as an after thought to what Mojca said. Best, My impression (from talks that i've heard) is that bibulis is not yet mature and it was mainly a food for thought talk but the status may have changed. MLBibTeX has a longer history and its author is very serious in his efforts to get it done and reports on a regular basis at user group meetings. Concerning context, taco (when he has time) will look into it in more detail and he has already discussed some things with Jean-Michel; once we know that all info needed is carried around, writing an xml interface is easy (i can do that if needed, but others need to provide specs and examples). Don't hesitate to contact Jean Michel and express your wishes; he's quite willing to provide more info.
