problems with bibliography

problems with bibliography

[Nicolas Luchier]

Bonjour,

I am using the bib and bibltx modules to manage the bibliography of my  
articles. All was fine up to just recently where no more reference  
seems to be made any more in my current writing (half the article is  
OK). The \cite command return empty brackets [] (even when I wrote the  
wrong reference, there usually always had a number) and no new line is  
created in the \placepublications[criterium=all] command (or  
\completepublications for that matter). Things seem to be done  
properly though.

I am running ConTeXt  ver: 2008.05.21

Would anybody have a clue on what is going on?

Thanks,
Nicolas Luchier

Not enough information for a good answer, but you should check to make
sure there are no problematic entries in the bbl file. Perhaps you added
a citation recently and now the bbl reader is confused because there is
an unrecognized macro or stray dollar sign, something like that.

Best wishes,
Taco

                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Did you change anything in your system recently? There have been some 
changes in MkIV that affect the bib module, but you are using an older 
version of context, so should not be affect by the recent changes.

Can you create a minimal example showing the problem? Usually, such 
problems arise due to a missing [criterium=all] but you have it.

Re: problems with bibliography

[Nicolas Luchier]

Thank you for your quick answers.

Following Taco suggestion, I used a former biblio.bib which doesn't  
cause any problem in a former article (25 entry in the article  
bibliography and I recompiled it ti check wether something new could  
happen, but everything ran fine). Since I did add some citations for  
this new article (through Zotero BTW, but all my .bib has been done  
this way), some entries are missing for my new article but the number  
are nonetheless reserved, except from the last 4 citations that still  
produces empty brackets and no reserved line in the \placepublications  
command.

I didn't change anything in the system recently.

Create a minimal example will be difficult, since the behavior changed  
mid article :
\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]
\setupbibtex[database=biblio]
\starttext
\section{some blabla part I}
sub and subsubsection with some \cite command in them. Everything is  
fine.
\Section{some blabla part II}
subsection with \cite command that produces empty brackets.
\section{bibliography}
\placepublications[criterium=all]
\stoptext

Now, if I move the faulty \cite from the part II to part I, they still  
produce empty bracket.

Looking into the log, I found these warnings : warning: cite argument  
xxxx unknown on 139, when the command is \cite[xxxx]. This doesn't  
come from the fact that xxxx is not in the .bib file since  other  
references are also missing but no warning is produced.

I really don't get it.

Nicolas

Re: problems with bibliography

[Nicolas Luchier]

Hello

OK, I found the problem. It may be of interest so here is the faulty  
code :
  \startformula\startalign[n=1,align={left}]
  \NC \text{Dans la théorie de l'électron libre  
(\cite[ashcroft1976]) } k_{F}=1,65 \text{~} \Angstrom^{-1} \NR
...
  \stopalign
  \stopformula

The \cite command inside the \text in the formula setting ended up  
messing with all the following *new* citations, recalling of already  
mentioned citation was OK.

\cite citation withdrawn, everything was back to the normal.

Thanks for your help,
Nicolas

That should have worked, so there is a definately a bug somewhere.

Best wishes,

Re: Problems with bibliography

Hi,

This probably depends on the type of publication, there is a known 
bug where the bibliography uses 'proceedings authors' instead of
'article authors'. Sent you a new beta off-list ;)

Greetings, Taco

Hi all,

I'm having a few problems with my bibliography.  All the citations in 
the text are correct but when they are place in the bibliography
chapter sometimes the author is missing.

I'm using   \placepublications.  Does anyone know of a solution



Thanks

Adam
