bibmodule + project

bibmodule + project

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

a question for the many happy users of Taco's bibmodule: I'm in the  
process of splitting a larger project into several components. What I  
have is:

transl.tex           --> main project file
environment.tex      --> environment for all components
products.tex         --> list of components
component1.tex
component2.tex
.
.
.

Index, TOC etc. seem to be working very well, but I can't get the  
bibliographic references right when compiling. Where should the call  
to bibmodule reside, and how can I run bibtex on such a project?

Thanks

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

The beta has some code to deal with use of multiple bibliographies
withing projects/products, the current one in the distribution does
not.

The beta is on my website, linked from :
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User::Taco/Bib

The mailing list thread about 'multiple bibs' is here:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20051003.000309.57881f41.en.html

Biggest problem: I am not sure what the desired/correct functionality
would be.

If I understand your case correctly (with many components of a single 
product, and a unified bibliography at the end of the full product),
then you probably should do the setupbibtex only in the product file
(and creating products.bbl); and execute  only 
"\usepublications[products]" in each component.

But that's guesswork,  not prescription, and not a reliable advice. If
can give me and exact description of your wishes, then I can create a
new beta with your desires in mind.

Cheers,

Taco

Taco,

thanks a lot! Your bibtex module is an amazing one-man-show! Yes,  
this seems to work: having
\setupbibtex[database=bibliography]

in the products.tex file and a line

\usepublications[products]

in the components. I needed several runs of ConTeXt to get rid of  
many ?? when typesetting single components, but now it appears to  
work. More about this book project soon. (I'm negotiating with my  
publisher, Blackwell. They want it "typeset professionally," and I'm  
trying to convince them that typesetting doesn't get any more  
professional than that...).

Best

Thomas
