If not, I Not at the moment, but I will add something in a future version. One problem with \cite that I am interested in hearing people's opinion about: the currently is a 'latex compatibility' option available as well. \cite{..} is accepted as meaning the same as \cite[..]. It is in there because existing databases use this syntax when refering to other items in the database. But: it is very latexy and not in sync with the context rule that typeset arguments use {} and setup arguments use []. So, question: to remove or not to remove? How many people share bibtex databases between latex en context? (removal makes it easier to implement the 'extra info'). > Apropos m-bib, there are those unresolved problems: > \setupbibtex[sort=author] has no effect, and \cite[Xyz97] without the first > (optional) argument gobbles the following space (just to remind you, I can > work around it). Noted. this wil be fixed somewhere before eurotex. Hans? the first one is a conflict with the multi-lingual interface: author is defined already.

It's probably easier at the macro level. The bst files are weird, even for bst files ;). I will look into it and try to explain in the documentation how it should be done. -- groeten, Taco
