Using Here it works (in the list), the only problem is is the spacing, if the item has two digits, the number and the item touch ([22]R.

It definately works in (my) english version. Well, I also only tested my English version. Giuseppe Bilotta wrote: > Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > That's why I choose the bibl-XXX.tex files instead.

Recently, I checked the bibstyle of the APS and while they had two basic styles (revtex4/apspr.bst and apsrmp.bst) there are several differences between all journals. bibl-aps.tex for instance only implements the version for PRL (thank you Taco, for adding it!). In addition, one can not translate certain words that easily. English publishing houses make a difference between a new edition, minor corrections and a reprint while German 'Verlage' usually bump the 'Auf\/lage' (well not always for a reprint). There are more such differences which are listed e.g. in The Oxford Guide to Style, but which I don't remember. Tobias ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Ok, I finally found the reason why it didn't work here: there was a \setuppublications[distance=20pt,sort=author] after the \setuppublications[numbercommand=\bracketed], and it nihiled the effect of the previous setuppublications. Changing the order fixed that. Isn't this a bug, though? Why is numbercommand being reset? > Giuseppe Bilotta wrote: >> Taco Hoekwater wrote: >> > That's why I choose the bibl-XXX.tex files instead.
