This happens with all books. On looking at the source, I'm afraid I
can't track down where it's coming from or how to fix it.

(2) Is it possible to use smart quotes in citations? For instance, for
this book, authored by O'Donovan, I can enter the appropriately curly
character between O and D in my bibtex file. But it comes out straight
in the final document.

Can you tell what version of context you are using and post a short
but complete example of your input? Neither problem sounds familiar,
so I have to look at your actual code to see that is going on.

Best wishes,
Taco



I can't reproduce the second problem, with the straight/smart quotes. Let's ignore it.

The first problem, with the two periods after a book title, has been with me since at least last year. I can reproduce it with the following:

[A] ConTeXt version.

ConTeXt  ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKIV  fmt: 2008.8.6  int: english/english

This is based TeXLive 2007, originally installed with the MacTeX installer and updated with cont-tmf,zip from pragma and the ppc- darwin binaries from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/osx-ppc/ texmf-osx-ppc/bin/.

My understanding of TeX installations is not sophisticated. Perhaps I goofed. But everything seems to work.

[B] File

\usemodule[bib]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa,refcommand=authoryear]

\setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Kav86},totalnumber=1]

\startpublication[k=Kavka:1986qe,t=book,
a={{Kavka}},y=1986,
n=2,s=Kav86]
\author[]{Gregory}[G.]{}{Kavka}
\pubyear{1986}
\title{Hobbesian Moral and Political Theory}
\city{Princeton}
\pubname{Princeton University Press}
\stoppublication

\starttext

Here is a reference to the Kavka book: \cite[Kavka:1986qe]

\placepublications

\stoptext

The output I get is:

Here is a reference to the Kavka book: Kavka (1986)
Kavka, G. (1986). Hobbesian Moral and Political Theory.. Princeton: Princeton
University Press.

Thanks for your help.

Michael
