I am having a problem with the m-bib module, in that it does not seem to
be handling crossrefs properly. For example, in my bibtex database I have
the following entries:
@inproceedings{ bos92sigs,
author = "Jurjen N. E. Bos and David Chaum",
title = "Provably Unforgeable Signatures",
crossref={CRYPTO92},
pages = "1-14"}
@proceedings{CRYPTO92,
editor = {Ernest F. Brickell},
title = {12th Annual International
Cryptology Conference, Santa Barbara, California, USA,
August 16-20, 1992, Proceedings},
booktitle = {Advances in Cryptology - CRYPTO '92},
publisher = {Springer},
series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science},
volume = {740},
year = {1992},
isbn = {3-540-57340-2},
bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}
}
if I cite bos92sigs in a LaTeX document, the following reference is
produced:
[3] Jurjen N. E. Bos and David Chaum. Provably unforgeable signatures. In
Ernest F. Brickell, editor, Advances in Cryptology - CRYPTO 92, volume
740 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pages 1-14. Springer, 1992.
But ConTeXt + m-bib produce:
[4] Jurjen N. E. Bos, and David Chaum, (1992). Provably unforgeable
signatures. In [??], pages 1-14.
What this looks like is that m-bib does not handle bibtex crossrefs
properly; it tries to create another entry in the publication list and put
a reference to that new entry in the crossrefrencing entries (although it
did not add an entry for the CRYPTO 92 proceedings in my publication
list...). What it should be doing (according to the bibtexing document)
is supplying the missing entries (such as booktitle, publisher, etc.) to
the crossreferencing entry, and then creating a new entry in the
publication list only if the same item is crossref'ed by min-crossrefs
(default=2) normal entries.
Is this indeed the case? If so, is there a simple fix (e.g. some option
that is not in the m-bib documentation)? Or is there some other
bibliography package that handles bibtex crossrefs properly?
Thanks,
William D. Neumann
