Bugs in m-bib (mostly solved)

Bugs in m-bib (mostly solved)

[Uwe Koloska]

Hello all,

I need some references for my paper and downloaded a copy of m-bib from
  http://www.cybercomm.nl/~bittext/temp/m-bib.zip

But there are some problems with this code:

o there is a line in the docu with "\ETEX!" but since ConTeXt thinks '!'
  is a normal char it doesn't find this command.  Just change it to
    "\ETEX !"
  With this change you can compile the docu without problems with
    texexec --module --mode=color m-bib

o there is one (more?) inconsistency between the bibtex stylefiles (*.bst)
  and the ones for ConTeXt (bibl-*.tex).  In the bst-file an inproceedings
  has authors and in bibl it has artauthors.  So just change artauthors in
  bibl to authors for inproceedings. (or the other way round)
  I don't searched for more incosistencies like this -- I was only in the
  need of "inproceedings" and "techreport"

o \etalchar is used by the cont-??.tex files but not defined -- for the
  moment just press return if the error occurs ...

o the space after a cite-command is been eaten up by TeX. So instead of
    "in \cite[ABC90] Charly wrote ..."
  write
    "in \cite[ABC90]\ Charly wrote ..."

And while I am at it:
  Is there someone working on more citation styles?
  And how can I make the module display "References" in say german?

Happy citing ;-)
Uwe

We now do a lot of testing at kluwer (where we have a lot of input
examples), and we found a lot more bugs on top of the ones in your 
list. (Yes, you need the \bblreadfalse under some conditions).

There will be a new version 'soon' with all of these bugs and more
fixed, and with better documentation on writing the styles.
