Ok, I can wait. If I can help by testing some beta releases of the module,  
tell me.

You cannot do this, sorry.

Hm, I think it could be interesting to add such a feature to context, but  
I understand it cannot be done immediately. Latex already have such things  
(chapterbib, bibtopic) and IMHO there is a real need for this.

Sure. Can you point me to the documentation of 'bibtopic' and also 
propose a calling / configuration syntax for the ConTeXt  version?
(it is easier for me if I know what to work towards)

I don't know if it's doable or if it breaks the consistency of the current  
interface, but I would see something like the list mechanism:

\definebiblist[name][\setupbiblist options]
\setupbiblist[name][\setuppublicationlist options]
\setupbibfile[name][\setupbibtex options]
\placebiblist[name]

\definecombinedbiblist[bibgroup][biblist list][\setupcombinedlist options]
\setupcombinedlist[bibgroup][ not yet clear what options it should provide  
]

\startbibentry[name][\startpublication options]

\setupcite[name][what][options] (name optional)
\cite[name][what][ref] or \cite[what][name:ref] (name optional)

To keep the current interface, a default global publication list could  
exist:

\setuppublicationlist = \setupbiblist[publication]
\startpublication = \startbibentry[publication]
\placepublications = \placebiblist[publication]
\setupbibtex = \setupbibfile[publication]

Example of use:

% the specs come only from bibtex files
\definebiblist[specs][criterium=all]
\setupbibtex[specs][database={spec1,spec2},sort=short]

\definebiblist[manuals][criterium=all]
\setupbibtex[manuals][database=manbase,sort=short]

% also an embedded definition for the manuals
\startbibentry[manuals][k=me,t=manual,a=Hoekwater,y=2006]
\author[]{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater}
\title{Publication Module}
\stopbibentry

% all the biblio stuff
\definecombinedbiblist[allbibs][specs,manuals][criterium=all]

% let's go
\starttext
\chapter{The doc}
\section{References in the chapter}
\subsection{Specifications}
\placebiblist[specs][criterium=cite]

\subsection{Manuals}
\placebiblist[manuals][criterium=local]

\section{Introduction}
As explained in \cite[manuals][key][me]...

\chapter{References Summary}
\placecombinedlist[allbibs]
\stoptext

What is not clear for me:
- if the bibentry numbering must be global or could restart to 1 for each  
list,
- if it is really feasible to place the biblists several times in the doc,  
and if so, to which list the \cite actually points to.

I hope that all of this doesn't sound too stupid :-)

[NTG-context] Several publication lists

2006-05-15 Thread nico
Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to display several publication lists. Can we  
achieve this with the bib module? What I would like to do is to split the  
publication list into different sections, like this:

\section{Bibliography}
\subsection{Specifications}
... Here are the list of publications that are specifications ...

\subsection{Manuals}
... Here some manuals ...

BG
