Bold BibTeX refs in text?

Bold BibTeX refs in text?

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

This is my bibliography set up

\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex[database={mrabbrev,bezier}]
\setuppublications[numbering=yes,
                   sorttype=cite,
                   numbercommand=\bracketed,
                   refcommand=num]

I would have liked the in-text bibtex refs to come out in
bold, so I tried:

\setupcite[num][before={\start\bf},after={\stop}]

but this isn't working. I'm pretty sure I'm missing
something obvious here ...

While we're at it, the reference compression method is a
little too aggressive: I have a \cite[onething,another] and
it gives me [1--2] in text ... in this case [1,2] would be
better, IMO. Compression is good if you have three or more
consecutive refs.

BTW, how do I add the whole database to the reference list?

\setupcite[num][left={[\start\bf},right={\stop]}]

Do you mean \setuppublications[criterium=all] (to print all the
publications in the database, even the uncited ones) or perhaps
\setupbibtex[database=filename]?

Aha! Left and right, not before and after.

criterium=all, thanks.

The actual compression of the numbers is done by a macro written
by Hans (syst-new.tex) and I don't quite understand how it works,
but ... please try this patch:

   \unprotect
   \def\doverysimplebibnumref#1#2%
     {\refsep
      \ifcase#1\relax ??\else
       \def\tempa{#2}%
       \ifx\empty\tempa#1\else
         \ifnum#1<\numexpr#2-1\relax
           #1\bibalternative\c!inbetween#2%
         \else
           #1\refsep#2%
         \fi
       \fi
    \fi}
   \protect

That should keep on working even if/after Hans' macro is changed
sometime in the future.

Greetings, Taco

Works all right, thanks.
