[NTG-context] Bibliography: only surname in small caps
Dear list, I would like to have in a bibliography only surnames in small capitals, like this: MÜLLER, B. and SCHNEIDER A. (Müller and Schneider appear in small caps, but everything else like and is still in the default typeface.) At the moment, I'm using the old bibliography system. I am a bit overwhelmed by the new system, because I would have to setup everything from the beginning, as I have setup my layouts with \setuppublicationlayout. Now my questions are: Is it possible to achieve what I want (SC surnames) with the old and the new system? If I would do it with the old system, am I right that I would have to redefine \normalauthor or define my own authorcommand? How could it be done with the new system? I've tried to understand the file publ-imp-apa.mkvi, but there's only an author value, and I don't understand how to access the name components (first name, last name etc.).

At the moment, I'm using the old bibliography system. I am a bit
overwhelmed by the new system, because I would have to setup everything
from the beginning, as I have setup my layouts with
\setuppublicationlayout.
Now my questions are:
Is it possible to achieve what I want (SC surnames) with the old and the
new system?
Yes, in principle.
If I would do it with the old system, am I right that I would have to
redefine \normalauthor or define my own author command?
You would define your own command. Something like
\def\myinvertedauthor#1#2#3#4#5%
{{\sc #3}%
\bibdoif{#1}{\bibalternative{surnamesep}#4\unskip}%
\bibdoifelse{#2}{\bibalternative{vonsep}#2\unskip}{\unskip}%
\bibdoifelse{#5}{\bibalternative{juniorsep}#5\unskip}{\unskip}%
}
How could it be done with the new system? I've tried to understand the
file publ-imp-apa.mkvi, but there's only an author value, and I
don't understand how to access the name components (first name, last
name etc.).
The interface isn’t finished yet, so you’ll have to wait a bit. But this is a
good occasion to remind Hans that formatting needs for bibliographies can vary
widely, so we need as much configurability as possible.

Hi Joshua, I suspect it can be done in the old system, albeit by some tricks that are maybe unworthy of ConTeXt. I have not tried using small caps because I use a font that does't have them but I think it would be doable. There a in fact two tricks. The first is to put everything in the booklet category and enter everything except author names, year of publication and city (or publisher) in the title. The second is to make a .bbl file and edit that, including ordering small caps where you want them, just as in a normal .tex-file. In your project you input the edited .bbl-file, not the .bib-file. This way you can use all the nice mechanisms of ConTeXt for citing, footnotes and bibliography without having to bother with the tweaking of codes. I have done it this way for my wife's PhD thesis and it works perfectly.

Thanks for your answer, Thomas. This is how I've done it now:
\unprotect\def\myinvertedshortauthor#1#2#3#4#5%
{\bibdoif{#2}{#2\bibalternative\c!vonsep}%
{\smallcaps #3}%
\bibdoif{#5}{\bibalternative\c!juniorsep#5}%
\bibdoif{#4}{\bibalternative\c!surnamesep#4\unskip}}
\protect
\setuppublicationlist [artauthor=\myinvertedshortauthor,
author=\myinvertedshortauthor, editor=\myinvertedshortauthor]
It works perfectly.
I'm looking forward to the new bibliography system, but on the other
hand, I'm glad I can stick with the old system for this project,
because everything else is already set up as needed.
Kind regards,
Joshua

Thanks for your answer, Robert. But I'm reluctant to do such manual hacks. In this case, they would not make sense anyway, because my database is too big (more than 200 entries), and I pull the entries from Medline, I don't create them myself. Minor tweaks are possible, but I can't rearrange and manually format all the entries. Anyway, it works now automatically (see my other mail), with a minimum of work. That's why I love ConTeXt and automatic typesetting.
