Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
If it helps with troubleshooting, I've also tried to do this with
\fastsetup instead of \texdefinition:
```
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:shorthand}}{
\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:listsubcite}}}
```
This also doesn't work, but I at least get a "Missing control sequence
inserted" error. The following MWE should reproduce the error (it modifies
the existing Chicago rendering, but since I couldn't figure out how to add
a shorthand field to the @book category in the chicago spec from within the
MWE, I just used the note field as a placeholder for it):
```
% Setup a minimal bibliography
\startbuffer [bib]
@book{Author1:2016,
author={Author1},
title={Work1},
note={W1},
publisher={Publisher1},
year=2016,
}
@book{Author2:2015,
author={Author2},
title={Work2},
publisher={Publisher2},
year=2015,
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset [bib.buffer]
% Setup a new cite alternative to test the desired functionality
\startbtxrenderingdefinitions[chicago]
\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] % we need
the \inshort command to access abbreviations by their entry tag
\startsetups btx:chicago:cite:shorthand
\fastsetup{btx:cite:concat}
\fastsetup{btx:cite:lefttext}
\begingroup
\def\currentbtxcitealternative{short}
\def\currentbtxcategory{\btxfield{category}}
\btxstartstyleandcolor[sbl:\s!list:title:\currentbtxcategory]
\btxusecommand[sbl:\s!list:title:\currentbtxcategory]{
\btxflush{note}% set the shorthand according to the current
category
}
\btxstopstyleandcolor
\endgroup
\fastsetup{btx:cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\startsetups btx:chicago:cite:test
\fastsetup{btx:cite:concat}
\fastsetup{btx:cite:lefttext}
\btxdoifelse{note} {
%\expanded{\definesynonym[yes][abbreviation][\currentbtxtag]{\fastsetup{btx:chicago:cite:shorthand}}{\fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}}}%
this throws a Missing control sequence inserted error
\expanded{\definesynonym[yes][abbreviation][\currentbtxtag]{\cite[alternative=shorthand][\currentbtxtag]}{\cite[alternative=entry][\currentbtxtag]}}%
this works, but recursively cites the same tag
\inshort{\currentbtxtag}
} {
\fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}
}
\fastsetup{btx:cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\stopbtxrenderingdefinitions
% Use this cite alternative by default
\usebtxdefinitions[chicago]

A concise solution that I found would work was to define a "shorthand"
citation alternative and just print the shorthand with that:
```
% Shorthand citation setup
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:shorthand
\begingroup
\def\currentbtxcategory{\btxfield{category}}
\texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand}
\endgroup
\removeunwantedspaces
\removepunctuation
\stopsetups
...
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\textcite[alternative=shorthand,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}{\textcite[alternative=listsubcite,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}}
```
Again, this works, although I'm still not sure why
invoking \texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand} directly doesn't.
I leave it to Alan to comment on this as he's the bib guru

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Just continuing to talk my way through the inner workings of the ConTeXt
Publication modules. It looks like three "long" citation forms are defined
in publ-imp-cite.mkvi:
\startsetups btx:cite:listelement
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat}
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext}
\ifx\currentbtxfirst\empty
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!empty}
\else
\texdefinition {\s!btx:\s!cite:inject} {
\btxcitereference
\currentbtxfirst
}
\fi
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:entry
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat}
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext}
\btxhandleciteentry
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote
\startfootnote
\fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}
\stopfootnote
\stopsetups
Intuitively, I would expect btx:cite:listelement [why not
\s!btx:\s!cite:listelement?] to handle rendering a bibliographic entry for
the bibliography proper (i.e., the list typically placed at the end of a
document), while \s!btx:\s!cite:entry would handle in-text citations. The
third setup, \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote, simply renders the "entry"-style
citation in a footnote.
But as far as I can tell, the "listelement" setup is never used outside of
publ-imp-cite.mkvi. Only the "entry" setup appears to be used. Meanwhile,
the \btxcitereference and \btxhandleciteentry macros (invoked in these
setups) appear to be defined in publ-ini.mkiv:
\unexpanded\def\btx_cite_reference_inject
{\ifconditional\c_btx_cite_reference_injected
\else
\dontleavehmode
\iftrialtypesetting \else
\ifx\currentbtxbacklink\empty
% can be made empty when combining author / year
\else\ifnum\currentbtxbacklink>\zerocount
\btx_cite_reference_inject_indeed
\settrue\c_btx_cite_reference_injected
\fi\fi
\fi
\fi}
...
\let\btxcitereference\btx_cite_reference_inject
...
\unexpanded\def\btxhandleciteentry
{\dontleavehmode
\begingroup
\def\currentbtxcitealternative{entry}%
\setbtxparameterset\s!cite\currentbtxcitealternative % needs checking
\btxcitereference
\btx_entry_inject
\endgroup}
My next step will be to figure out what these are doing, but I'm still not
sure if the module accommodates rendering in-text "entry" citations
differently than citations in the list.

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Henning's suggestion for abbreviations should work fine for that issue. I
could simply use the shorthand in the "series" and "journal" fields and set
up the appropriate \abbreviation calls in the document or environment.
As for the larger issue of bibliographies, I've started working on
publ-imp-sbl.lua and publ-imp-sbl.mkvi files. I knew I would need this for
my own project soon, and I felt it would be useful to myself and the
ConTeXt community if I could at least get a rudimentary version working.
I'm presently using the reference for examples from the *SBL Handbook of
Style*, 2nd edition, available at
https://github.com/dcpurton/biblatex-sbl/blob/master/test/biblatex-sbl-examples.ref.txt
.
Like you say, some parts are tricky. SBL uses "entry"-style citations by
default and doesn't seem to make use of other common alternatives (such as
"authoryear"). I can think of some existing alternatives that might get
used in specific cases (e.g., "author", "title"), but the
recommended shorthand has the form "shortauthor, shorttitle" (i.e., the
last name(s) of the author(s) only, followed by a comma and a shortened
form of the title as specified in the "shorttitle" field). I could make
this the sbl style's implementation of the "short" alternative, since the
LaTeX-style bracketed number references are foreign to SBL style anyway,
but if would be preferable just to introduce another alternative (something
like "authortitle"), then I could also try to do that.
For my immediate purposes, I won't need much more than the @book, @article,
@inbook, and @incollection entries, so my focus will be on getting those
right, but if anyone is interested in helping, I'll gladly take help. (But
it would probably be better to discuss the details in a separate e-mail
thread.)

SBL is a tricky beast anyway. There were some discussions regarding
implementing Chicago Manual of Style a couple of weeks ago. Develelopments on
that front could also be useful for SBL. Don't know what came out of this
though.

Regarding abbreviations have a look at
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definesynonyms
It should be as easy as
\abbreviation{LSAWS}{Linguistic Studies in Ancient West Semitic}
The full name of \quote{LSAWS} is \infull{LSAWS}.
\placelistofabbreviations
I had a case where mostly abbreviations were used in the text but the full name
should appear in the index.
I can provide the setup (including Lua functions), if it might help you.
Can’t help with bibliographies, sorry.

[NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Hi,
It is a common practice to use short forms of titles for bibliographic
entries after they are cited the first time. Another practice is to use
abbreviations for journal names and book series (generally for citations in
the text, but possibly also in the references list), with a separate "List
of Abbreviations" provided to cross-reference the abbreviations and full
names. I think that these practices could be accommodated with multiple
bibliographies that contain short and long forms for corresponding entries,
but I wanted to ask: is there a simpler or preferred way to do this in
ConTeXt?
To illustrate what I mean, the biblatex-sbl package (
https://github.com/dcpurton/biblatex-sbl), which implements the SBL
citation style for (Xe)LaTeX, handles this using additional fields like
"shorttitle," "shortjournal," and "shortseries," so for the BibTeX-style
bibliographic entry
@book{Blau2010,
author = {Joshua Blau},
title = {Phonology and Morphology of Biblical Hebrew},
shorttitle = {Phonology},
series = {Linguistic Studies in Ancient West Semitic},
shortseries = {LSAWS},
volume = {2},
location = {Winona Lake, IN},
publisher = {Eisenbrauns},
year = {2010}
}
the initial in-text citation (in SBL style) would look something like
Joshua Blau, *Phonology and Morphology of Biblical Hebrew*, LSAWS 2 (Winona
Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 2010),
while subsequent in-text citations would look like
Blau, *Phonology*.
A separate list of abbreviations would then list "LSAWS" alongside
"Linguistic Studies in Ancient West Semitic" (and likewise for other
journal/series abbreviations).
Thank you!
Joey
