[NTG-context] Different authorconversion for citation alternatives and bibliographic entries
I dealt with this issue at length in a separate thread (“Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list”) a couple months after you asked about this, so for the benefit of anyone who has been following this thread specifically, I’ll describe the solution I found here. There are (at least) a few commands defined in publ-imp-ini.mkiv that can help conditionally render author fields according to cite parameters rather than list parameters. The first, \btxflushauthornormal{author} (where author can be replaced by another name-type field, if I understand correctly), will flush the specified field according to the “normal” authorconversion. There are similar commands for \btxflushauthorname, \btxflushauthornormalshort, \btxflushauthorinverted, and \btxflushauthorinvertedshort, if you need a different conversion.If you also want to use other cite-specific name-rendering parameters, like etallimit, etaldisplay, and etaloption, then the \currentbtxciteauthorbyfield (which does not accept an argument and will only render the author field or any field in the author set) will do this. To handle citation alternative-dependent formatting, you can use the \currentbtxcitealternative as follows:```\doifelse {\currentbtxcitealternative} {entry} { % Normal short conversion for entry citations \btxflushauthornormalshort{author}} { % Normal conversion for list citations \btxflushauthornormal{author}}```Joey

Chicago is certainly not a bad choice for this. It's probably one of the most complete footnote specifications out there. (I knows multiple variants though, so you need to settle for one or support both.) One thing to be aware of is that Chicago is utterly complex. Other styles like MHRA are a bit simpler. This complexity might be an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. It may be hard to get this completely right. The already mentioned biblatex-chicago package shows how much is involved. OTOH, if you get this right that should cover almost everything that might come up in note based styles.

Hi Alan, Hans, and Chicago style bibliography users, > 3) I believe that Gavin (on CC:) is a user of the Chicago author-year > model. I’d like to use the Notes and Bibliography style in my physics book, with endnotes after each chapter. I would gladly participate by testing and providing feedback. I am using a patched-together \footnote solution right now, and it is not great. The existing "biblatex-chicago” package might be helpful for development, especially in selecting database syntax and perhaps in designing algorithms. The author, David Fussner, has been maintaining and updating since the first public release in 2008. It the extensive documentation, he invites contact. It looks like a complicated project! I’d be happy to discuss this more at our next Norther Colorado ConTeXt User meeting. Would some time next week work? (Alan, who I met on this mailing list, lives a short bike ride from my house.)

First of all, come to a consensus on a clear style guide to base this
on, so as not to run after ambiguous and perhaps contradictory
specifications. This would be distinct from the APA (author-year) model
as well as from the minimalist APS (numbered) style. Could this perhaps
be the Chicago style? (does that have a footnote specification?)
Secondly, identify users who would be willing to spend time testing and
giving feedback.
Thirdly, motivate Hans and myself to spend time on this (implementing
or helping implement), for neither of us use the footnote style.
So it can be done, and such a model is presently missing.

Hi there,
My university has special requirements for the theses I submit.
Layout, fonts etc. are pretty straightforward to set up in ConTeXt.
The one part I'm struggling with is citations / bibliography.
I have to use the german citation style with footnotes. Essentially the first
time I
cite something, I have to put the full entry in a footnote. From the second time
on, I only have to put a shorter entry in the footnotes.
Is this first citation vs other citations thing currently possible with ConTeXt? I was
thinking that there was no proper support for note style citations in ConTeXt? Has that
changed? I remember reading the phrase "We may add additional citation styles if
there demand and clear requirements exist." So what's the current state of affairs
here?
Denis
Indeed (one can always use \footnote{} but that might not be a good
substitute for a proper footnote citation style.
I do not use footnote citations as a general style (and personally
dislike it, finding them somewhat distracting and sloppy). Yet these are
popular in many fields and there is no reason not to support it.

2. Entries in the bibliography and fist time citations must have

In the thesis I have:

A snippet from the publ-imp-deu.mkvi:

In the setup and definition, the fields I defined do get into the
citation correctly, but the authorconversion remains 'normal'. If I
comment out the lines which set up 'normal' authorconversion for the
list, everything, including the bibliography and 'entry' type
citations get 'normalshort'. Is that a bug or am I missing something?
I am not sure that I understand your snippet (a mwe would be useful).
However, it appears that your setup is for the "list" rendering of a
book, and you do specify authorconversion=normal for lists.
Keep in mind that the bibliography system uses inheritance so it is
important to set options in the right places. Once everything gets
initialized, changing a higher-level parameter might not propagate to
lower-level instances if they have already been defined, the inheritance
taking place at definition time.

What am I doing wrong? Try running mtxrun --generate to update the database. However, I think that texmf-context/... is a bad place to put local files because they can be overwritten by system update. It may be better to put them in $TEXMFHOME/tex/context/personal/...

[NTG-context] Different authorconversion for citation alternatives and bibliographic entries
Hi there,
My university has special requirements for the theses I submit.
Layout, fonts etc. are pretty straightforward to set up in ConTeXt.
The one part I'm struggling with is citations / bibliography.
I have to use the german citation style with footnotes. Essentially
the first time I cite something, I have to put the full entry in a
footnote. From the second time on, I only have to put a shorter entry
in the footnotes.
I have two problems:
1. I created the publ-imp-deu.lua and publ-imp-deu.mkvi files. If I
put them into the
~/bin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/ directory, I
get the following two lines in the log:
```
publications> unknown library 'deu'
publications> no data definition file 'publ-imp-deu.lua' for 'deu'
```
If I put them into the directory where my thesis is, they seem to get
recognized, but I would very much like to reuse them and not have to
copy them to each project directory. What am I doing wrong?
2. Entries in the bibliography and fist time citations must have
'normal' authorconversion, while consequent citations must have
'normalshort'. For consequent citations I defined the 'authortitle'
alternative.
In the thesis I have:
```
\usebtxdataset[default][literature.bib]
\usebtxdefinitions[deu]
\setupbtx[deu]
```
A snippet from the publ-imp-deu.mkvi:
```
\definebtx
[deu:list]
[deu]
[authorconversion=normal]
\definebtx
[deu:cite]
[deu]
[authorconversion=normalshort,
alternative=authortitle]
\startsetups btx:deu:list:book
{\sc \btxflush{author}}\btxcolon \btxflush{title}
\btxdoif{subtitle}{\btxperiod\btxflush{subtitle}}\btxperiod
\btxflush{address}\btxcolon \btxflush{publisher} \btxflush{year}
\btxdoif{series}{ (\btxflush{series} \btxflush{volume})}\btxperiod
\stopsetups
```
In the setup and definition, the fields I defined do get into the
citation correctly, but the authorconversion remains 'normal'. If I
comment out the lines which set up 'normal' authorconversion for the
list, everything, including the bibliography and 'entry' type
citations get 'normalshort'. Is that a bug or am I missing something?
Thank you,
Agoston
