bibmod

[Hans van der Meer]

I want to use a bibtex database but get from \cite[key] only some  
reference like "(Xxxxxxxxxxx, 0000)".
I gues I am doing something wrong.
My setup comes from the instructions in the document bibmod-doc and  
there are both a syllabus.bib and a syllabus.bbl file present (and  
syllabus.aux is made by tex'ing):

\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex[database=syllabus]
\setuppublications[numbering=yes]

What details am I missing?

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

Should have worked, AFAICT. Please try the attached
minimal file. You should run:

    texexec mini
    bibtex mini
    texexec mini

That example worked. So the system should be ok. I will have to dig a  
litle deeper in my bibtex database, I am afrraid.
Thanks for the example.

yours sincerely,

Re: bibmod

Although the setup below works, there is still another problem when  
the project setup is more involved.
The problem can now be described as follows:

\project setup with \products in subdirectories, no problem in  
finding environments higher up when texexec-ing.

Setup of bibtext database is done with \setupbibtex[literature] .
Directory structure is:
	project/                (containing \project-file, literature.bib  
and literature.bbl)
	project/xyz          (containing xyz \product-file)

Running job xyz.tex within project/xyz, produces xyz.aux, which is  
useless for bibtex; therefore I tried to use the bbl file directly  
and thought to find this in coding:
	\usepublications[literature] instead of \setupbibtex[literature]
putting this in an \environment at the \project level.

However, texexec-ing xyz in its subdirectory again does not find  
literature.bbl, the log file says:
	publications    : file literature.bbl not found, don't forget to run  
bibtex

But, it does find the bibtex database literature.bbl when I put the  
\product files in the same directory as the \product; correctly saying:
	publications    : loading database from literature.bbl

It looks as if the bib-module does not look higher up in the  
directory hierarchy as is done for other elements in an \environment.
I would expect that from the project structure, being the main  
benefit of this structuring.

Is this really a problem in the bib-module or am I overseeing something.

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

It really is a problem in the module. This improved definition of
\dousepublications should fix it:

   \def\dousepublications#1%
     {\readfile{#1.bbl} % not \readsysfile
       {\showmessage{bib}{4}{#1.bbl}}
       {\showmessage{bib}{2}{#1.bbl}}}

You should put it somewhere after \usemodule, but before
\usepublications. Thanks for the bug report!

Cheers, Taco

So it really is a bug.
Makes my day! It is not that often one stumbles onto a bug.
After all these years ConTeXt seems pretty robust to me.
And thanks for quickly providing the fix.

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

Your format does not match the base files!

[Jilani Khaldi]

I just have updated my ConTeXt system (*) to the new one, and now I get 
this error:
...
ConTeXt  ver: 2005.12.19  fmt: 2006.1.9  int: english  mes: english

language        : language en is active
<protectionstate 0>
system          : cont-new loaded
(C:\texmf\tex\context\base\cont-new.tex

FatalError      : Your format does not match the base files!

FormatVersion   : 2005.12.19
FilesVersion    : 2006.01.12 10:38
...
Why did this happen?
However, I deleted the file "cont-new.tex" and copied the one from la 
last distribution (06.0.1.2006) and now it works.

well, now you really have a messed up system -)

you get this message and abortion when your format is not matching your 
base files, so instead of deleting the new cont-new.tex, you have to 
make a format

i added this feature in order to prevent such problems -)

    FatalError      : Your format does not match the base files!

is the problem

I love it when things work out.  The following is straight from my
announcement:

   New features since 2006.01.09:

   * ConTeXt now does a runtime vs. format version check.
     If they do not match, the run is aborted.

You were still running the old format from 19 december, which is why
the new cont-new.tex refused to process your file.

No, the update still doesn't work. You only made the error go away.
You have to unpack the new zip again (to recover the cont-new) and
run texexec --make to start using the new version.
