I was just looking at the documentation for the Bibliography module and wondering if anyone has tried to implement the full-on Chicago Manual of Style "Author-Title" documentation format for endnotes/footnotes in books -- i.e. citations of the form "Author, Full Title, Publisher, page" followed in subsequent references by "Author, Short Title, page" plus support for "Ibid," "op.cit," and so forth.
Seems like this would be hard, but there are a lot of books out there that follow this style (at least in the U.S.), especially in history/social sciences. To do so would require supporting a "\shorttitle" field and adding mechanisms to keep track of what has been cited (in order to implement switching between full and shortened reference forms and enable ibid/op.cit. ). As an editor, this is probably beyond my technical abilities. Even so, if I wanted to mess around with this, where would I start learning about the internals of bibliography support in Context (beyond the documentation for the bib module)?
