Hello Manuel,

You mean perhaps the problem to get all entries in the bib-database, even
without citations. I don't have the solution, but I'm quite sure, that this
is trivial for guys like Taco and others.
There is at least one workaround: cite them all at some place in a 0-width
box with white color on white background.

Not needed in MKIV.

No more supported in MKIV, use
\setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]
instead.

I don't know if this is needed, seems to work without this line.

You want perhaps a %-sign:
\def\quotebox#1#2%

Right, 2-3 weeks are really a short time for such task.

Cheers, Peter
