Dear syndicate,
I heard that there is a bibtex module for context somewhere, but I could
not find an m-bib module anywhere in tex/base. Is there a bibtex how-to
for ConTeXt anywhere? I have a LaTeX file to insert in the journal and I
don't want my *.bib database to go to waste;-)
Secondary question: Assuming that there IS a bibtex module, can I place
separate bibliographies from a single .bib file for separate chapters.
That is, from a single journal.bib, can I generate a separate
bibliography for each article?

Just a reminder for any info on the bibtex mode for ConTeXt.
Thnx!

You have to download it. The module is written and maintained by Taco
Hoekwater, and I assume this is where to find the current version (??):

Don't know. I haven't used it much; am waiting for the XML-based
rewrite of the module ;-)

Thnx! Will test it this evening....

This *should* work. There is even some explanation on how to go about
in in the documentation, I believe. Sorry but I am otherwise occupied
so I cannot spare too much time for m-bib at the moment.

I've gotten m-bib to work so far. I really like how easy it is to set up the
bbl file is set up so I may be retiring my BibTeX database completely! The only
major glitch is that apparently m-bib cannot directly sort the bbl file
alphabetically.
I have a more important question for now: Is there an argument to \cite for
subdivision references? In LaTeX we have, e.g, \cite[p.\~23]{key}. In m-bib we
have \cite[key] but no way to include the `p.\~23'. What is the way users of
m-bib get around this? Is there any way to format subdivision references in
m-bib?
Finally, why is m-bib not included in cont-tmf.zip? It seems important and
sophisticated enough to include as part of the main distribution.
Thnx
Idris

Since Taco is busy, I'll try to speak for him and hope he doesn't kill
me!
As I said, I haven't used the module much, because I haven't as yet
switched to using ConTeXt for academic writing. If you look through
the list archive, IIRC, there are a few comments from Taco relating to
this.
One big reason I guess it's not included yet is that v2 of the module
will be new and XML based, and apparently more easy to keep in sync
with ConTeXt as a whole (which I think is difficult now).

I believe Idris S Hamid said this around Thu, 13 Feb 2003:

Actually, Eckhart Guthöhrlein came up with a suggestion a week or so ago
that does this. He had:
\def\citeplus[#1][#2][#3]{%
{%
\setupcite[#1][right={, #3)}]%
\cite[#1][#2]%
}%
}
I simplified it to something like:
\def\citepage[#1][#2]{%
{%
\setupcite[authoryears][right={, #2)}]%
\cite[authoryears][#1]%
}%
}
And it is used something like this:
\citepage[McAd:84][pp.~4--6]
Hope that gives enough of the flavor...
cheers,
adam

A clever yet simple solution. Works well so far.
Thnx to you and Eckhart for this!
