[NTG-context] Chicago citations in endnotes; short titles in bibliographies
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)?

Re: [NTG-context] Chicago citations in endnotes; short titles in bibliographies
Hi Peter, a similar question was asked not long ago ... and as it happens, some time before that even by me. My solution for ibid footnote citations can be found here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/54129 It's surely not the Chicago Manual of Style-style but probably the hardest part of it (the citation repetition logic). The citation style related stuff is in the bibl-*.tex files and it should be possible to use for example bibl-apa.tex as starting point. Best regards, Andreas.
