List,

I am trying to use the publications subsystem to support a 
non-bibliographic database, as chapter 10 of mkiv-publications suggests 
one can. My example is a database of quotations.

I have been partially successful, which is another way of saying there 
are some issues I have not been able to resolve.

First, what goes into a specification lua file (I think that is what the 
document suggests I need) that says my author field should be handled as 
a bibliographic author field? There is some processing: {Schopenhauer, 
Arthur} gets displayed as ArthurSchopenhauer (with no space). Specifying 
an authorconversion in \setupbtx has no effect, so it looks like I have 
to do something else.

Second, how can I link one entry to another. The example shows my 
almost-working attempt, adding a linking key (translation in the 
example) and recursively using it in processing. This fails, but when I 
use the literal equivalent, it works. (And the recursion does not seem 
to be the problem.) I know that this description is not clear, but the 
example should demonstrate the issue.

Finally, the document loses all data from the quotation database when 
\placebtxrendering for that database is omitted.

I apologize for the larger-than-usual example size.
