Re: [NTG-context] Crossref in bibtex
Dear Alan,
Thank you very much fox fixing the issue so quickly! The patch you have sent
me works on my machine as well :-).
I was playing around with bibliography a bit more, and I noticed that when
you make a crossref-loop (two entries pointing to eachother, or a single
entry pointing to itself), the lua interpreter will crash with
"publ-dat.lua:540: loop in gettable stack". Now, this is a bit of a silly
case of course ;-).
Kind regards,
Joshua

crossref is implemented and works, but failed as shown above, when the
crossref points to a "future" entry, that is one not already processed
(inverting the order of the two entries above will show the desired
behavior).
This is not good: the order should not matter, and Hans has fixed this, to
appear in the "next beta". Thank you Joshua for uncovering this.

Re: [NTG-context] crossref in bibtex
Hi Ulf, Ulf Martin wrote: Crossrefs don't seem to work properly. There isn't one, only a partial workaround: manually add a line of \nocite[crossref-ed entry] in your source somewhere, and at least the module will typeset the cross-referenced item itself. I will reconsider fixing this, but it is one of the more annoying things to get right. A hint to the solution for an expert could be the bbl file. Note that the order of the entries is turned around: No, that is absolutely unrelated. The .bbl file in context is nothing else than a representation in TeX macros of the original .bib file(s). (If ordered by author first, then year. Note also that in \language[de] vol. should be Bd. and p. be S..) Someone could create a bibl-aps-de.tex file, but I can not. It would just be a copy of bibl-aps.tex, but with german strings instead of english ones. You would still need to use an explicit language like \setuppublications[alternative=aps-de] though (because switching based on the current document language is not necessarily correct and is therefore unsupported). Any ideas of what to do or hints where to find more info? Rgiht here, on this list. * * * Additional question: what is the best way to generate the bbl file in the project directory? (I use Central.bib for all my documents). Using % texexec mainsetup in the projects directory produces many unnecessary files (e.g. a dvi file) as it is only meant as a setup file. You only have to generate the bbl file once, so that should not be a big burden. You could feasibly create a dummy file that is 4 or 5 lines long and has nothing but the \usemodule \setupbibtex lines, run that, and rename the resulting bbl file. However, proper bibliography processing is a killer feature for me -- I have virtually no document whithout references. (I wonder, what the direction of the ConText development here is; arguably, odd old BibTeX has reached an end of its history and support for more modern and complete, e.g. XML-based formats would be preferable (say, MODS) -- considering the seeminly nice XML support that is already there.) Bibtex is a rather idiosyncratic and LaTeX-centric program, and it already takes some effort to make bibtex believe that ConTeXt is enough like LaTeX to make it work. I do not wish to spend much more time catering for the bizarreness that is bibtex than I already have. The next major release of the module (but don't expect a release anywhere this year) will indeed support MODS through citeproc: http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net/citeproc/ Cheers, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

First, I have switched to using a particular RDF/XML as the internal representation, and also therefore the primary input format. I will likely be adding back a MODS input driver when I get a chance, but it's no longer the focus. I will also be releasing a schema for this RDF representation for people that need it. The primary reason for this change is that in comparison to MODS, RDF has a consistent model that makes it easier to model reference metadata. It's also fundamentally a relational model, and so easier to integrate with relational databases where needed. Also, I am working with the OpenDocument Technical Committee on a plan to add extensible metadata support using this RDF-based approach, so we hope to adopt this in OpenOffice as well (I am co-project lead for the OOo bib project). Second, I have started porting CiteProc to Ruby (and put a citeproc-py directory in the repo for those python coders that might want to contribute), which might integrate better with ConTeXt. (I suppose Lua might also be an option given the integration with pdftex?) In any case, this will take me a bit of time as a) I don't have much of it, and b) my coding skills aren't that great. But the actual formatting code (Ruby, XSLT, etc.) is to my mind less important than the logic as embedded in the XML citation style language I wrote to configure the formatting. http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net/csl/ Bruce * http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/xbiblio/ ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
