multiple bibliographies

[Charles Doherty]

Dear Thomas, Aditya, Taco,

I am trying to produce a book-list for class using Taco's bib module.  
I would like to produce a separate list for each lecture / topic:

Title of Lecture
paragraph giving a synopsis of topic
list of books/articles

and this repeated for x number of lectures. I discovered a thread in  
the ConTeXt users mailing list for September last for something like  
this. Has there been a solution? If it would do what I want I would  
be grateful for a sample or instructions. I am using the latest bib  
module.

Thanks,

Charlie Doherty

Yes, this is possible. Just make every lecture its own section, refer  
to the titles you want included in every list with \nocite commands  
at the beginning of every section, have the list typeset with  
\placepublications[criterium=cite]. If you want continuous numbering  
for all your lists, add  [option=continue].

Thank you Thomas,

It works perfectly. I had not used the \section command. Along with  
BibDesk this is great.

Thanks for your fast reply.

That's very helpful.  I was going to ask the same question in a month
or so when I might arrange the references in my math textbook that
way.  Here's an example file that I'll wikify if a similar example
isn't there already and no one finds problems with it.

Note in passing: \placepublications[criterium=section] and
\placepublications[criterium=cite] should (and do) give the same
results in the further-reading section.

Taco, 
      For a rainy day, what about \setuppublications[option=continue]
that implicitly appends option=continue to all but the first
\placepublications commands?  (If it does so for the first one
then the numbering starts from 37 or thereabouts, as I found out by
trying it.)

Some useful references are \cite[article-minimal].  See
\cite[article-full] for the full bibliography info.

\section[sec:further]{Further reading}

\nocite[whole-journal,incollection-full]

If you are curious, here are a few further readings:

\placepublications[criterium=section]
%\placepublications[criterium=cite]

Here are all the references from this chapter, including the
`further reading'.

\placepublications[criterium=chapter,option=continue]

\chapter{Two}

\cite[inbook-crossref] is a classic.  People should also read
\cite[book-minimal] but it can be rough going.

\section{Chapter references}

Here are the references from this chapter.
\bigskip
\placepublications[criterium=chapter,option=continue]

\title{References for the whole document}

Here are the references from the entire document: in all
chapters and including the further reading.

Sure, wouldn't be very hard. I hope I don't forget

multiple bibliographies

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Dear all (and esp. Taco),

in March 2005, there was a discussion about having multiple  
bibliographies in one document, very much like with the LaTeX package  
chapterbib. I may be missing something obvious, but I'm wondering  
whether this is now possible with Taco's module.

Maybe a bit of background, and please tell me if you think this is a  
stupid idea: every term, I have to prepare lists of references for my  
several classes, and there usually is a lot of repetition and  
overlap. So I'm dreaming of having one big bibtex database and  
producing the lists via assorted \nocite commands. But i usually  
split up these bibliographies into several sections, and I want all  
items numbered in sequence, so I have in my source:

\section{One}

\nocite[myfirst] \nocite[mysecond]

\placepublications

\section{Two}

\nocite[mythird] \nocite[myfourth]

\placepublications


to get this output:



          A. One

[1] myfirst publication

[2] mysecond publication



          B. Two

[3] mythird publication

[4] myfourth publication


Is this reasonable? feasible? Or should I just use the old approach  
and copy/paste the same references into \itemize lists? Help and  
opinions appreciated!

Thomas

I do not know anything about feasibility, but have a suggestion for 
the input syntax. How about if there is

\definecitemethod[one]
\definecitemethod[two]

after which you can do

\cite[method=one][myfirst] or
\nocite[method=one][mysecond]

and also

\cite[method={one,two}][ref]

and so on.

And to obtain a list of bibliographies, do

\placepublications[method=one]


I am not sure whether this is same as how criteria works right now.


Do you think that a syntax like this makes sense?

This should work except that the numbers in the second
\placepublications will probably restart at 1 with the
current version.  That would be easy to fix, so if you
send me a small test file I can easily add a no-reset
switch.

I have to think about that. It sounds useful, but I am not
sure off-hand how to make it work.

Cheers,
Taco

Taco,

I played some more with the patched version you sent yesterday, and  
everything seems to be working as desired, thanks a lot! So, AFAICS,  
this is ready to roll and become part of the module.

Aditya, thanks for your suggestion. This would allow us not only to  
have per-chapter bibliographies, but several bibliographies, if I  
understand you right? Would be a very useful thing, I agree, but the  
solution for my question turned out to be a lot easier.

Thanks, and best

Thomas

Thanks for testing. I'll update contextgarden shortly.
