(Though as usual it's about bibliographies.) Last November, Renald Buter posted a question about how to suppress the full stop which follows a publication title in the case where the publication title itself ends in a question mark -- this produces entries like Authorname, A. (1990) A rhetorical question?. Journal of etc. etc. which doesn't look nice. At the time I gave some untested suggestions. Now (due to a sharp-eyed thesis examiner) I've actually had to test and implement a solution. For anyone else with this problem, I've written it up at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Question_marks_in_bibliography_entries . As usual with BibTeX-y things, it's a hack, but it does the job. I hope this will save time and effort for somebody.
