bibtexing problems

bibtexing problems

[Wolfgang Zillig]

Hallo,

I've started to add bibliography to my documents. Now I have some questions:

1. How can I handle multilanguage bibtex files (entries in German and 
English)? I'm writing english texts but I need to cite german documents 
and in all german references all capital letters are trasfered to small 
ones.

2. How to encode glyphs/german umlaute (öäüß) in the bibtex file? It 
seems that I can not use utf for that.

3. I have in the bibtex field: "comment = {genauere Analyse des Papers 
nötig!}," some comments. They are added at the end the individual 
reference. Is there a possibility to suppress this field?

4. is there a way of citing by bibtex key? (to get (Hameury2005) for the 
entry @ARTICLE{Hameury2005,...)). I think that is nice to have during 
writing the document and only to change this in the final version.

Many thanks

Wolfgang

These questions have nothing to do with ConTeXt, only with bibtex,  
which is still a seven-bit application, so you can't use anything  
outside ASCII.

If you want to preserve capital letters, enclose them in {}: {Z} 
auberberg.

I don't understand what you have and what you want.

For a more detailed description: I use Jabraf to organise my literature. 
The output is a bib file.  As example:

@ARTICLE{Hameury2005,
  author = {Hameury, S.},
  title = {Moisture buffering capacity of heavy timber tructures 
directly exposed
    to an indoor climate: a numerical study},
  journal = {Building and Environment},
  year = {2005},
  volume = {40},
  pages = {1400-1412},
  abstract = {sehr interessante Zusammenstellung von Holz-Eigenschaften!},
  comment = {genauere Analyse des Papers nötig!},
  owner = {zillig},
  pdf = {literatur-holz\moisture buffering capacity of heavy timber 
structures
    directly exposed to an indoor climate - a numerical study.pdf},
}

I have to check if it's possible to add extra braces to capital letters 
automatically but I thik doing this is archatic.  Is there a 
multilanguage feature available? This is probably needed to get the 
right hyphenation patterns.

Hi Wolfgang,

For 1. and 2., see Thomas' reply.

In the bibl-apa.tex file, you can simply remove all the \insertcomment
commands. Or you can delete the \comment lines from <\jobname>.bbl
(probably easier).

Sure you can:

   \cite[key][Hameury2005] will give you "Hameury2005"

Greetings,
