How to use Bibtex!

How to use Bibtex!

[Roelof de Jong]

Hi Folks,

Let me first wish you all a happy, healthy and succesful new 
millennium. 

But, i have a question too.

I just can't get bibtex to work in context. I probably am a bit 
lazy (command-wise) being used to the latex bibtex. Can anyone tell 
me what to include in my file to get bibtex to run in context. I've 
got Taco's manual, but fail to understand it completely.
Or can it only be used with Texexec and not in 4Tex5.0 for windows.   

Thanks,

Roelof

No, it should work without texexec. Try something like this as input
(this example really should work, xampl.bib should be on your system 
somewhere):

%% testbib.tex
\usemodule[bib]
\setuppublications[database={xampl}]
\starttext
..........\cite[article-full] .........
.........\cite[author][manual-full]...
...\cite[book-minimal,book-full,whole-set].......
...............................

\completepublications
\stoptext
%%EOF

Now run context as follows:

> cont-en testbib
> bibtex testbib
> cont-en testbib

If it still doesn't work, please try to explain what is going wrong.

greetings, taco

Sounds like it. Context should have said:

systeem        : macro's uit module bib geladen
(./m-bib.tex
publications   : loading formatting style from bibl-apa
(./bibl-apa.tex <unprotect 2> <protect 2>)

Still My Bibtex problem,

A question to all, but probably particularly for Taco.

Taco, I used your testbib.tex file.
Unfortunately it still doesn't work! 
Just as a reminder the testbib.tex file was: 

 %% testbib.tex
 \usemodule[bib]
 \setuppublications[database={xampl}]
 \starttext
 ..........\cite[article-full] .........
 .........\cite[author][manual-full]...
 ...\cite[book-minimal,book-full,whole-set].......
 ...............................

 \completepublications
 \stoptext
 %%EOF

I get the following messages:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.7 ...........\cite
                    [article-full] .......
?
! Undefined control sequence.
l.8 .........\cite
                  [author][manual-full] ............. 
bla ?
! Undefined control sequence.
l.9 ....\cite
             [book-minimal,book-full,whole-set].....
?
! Undefined control sequence.
l.11 \completepublications

And in bibtex: file testbib.aux missimg.
which is true. Cant find it 

Any idea?
Does this mean the bib-modul is not used of found or what?
