\startbackmatter requires \chapter to get bibliography?

\startbackmatter requires \chapter to get bibliography?

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

I just noticed the following behavior of \startbackmatter: A
\placepublications needs a \chapter{...} before it, otherwise no
bibliography is generated (i.e. p.2 is empty).  Consistent with that
behavior, \completepublications works fine without needing a \chapter
beforehand.  Here's the minimal file:

\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex[database=book]
\starttext
See \cite[van-Dyke:82]
\startbackmatter
%\chapter{References}
\placepublications
\stopbackmatter

\stoptext


With this .bbl file:

\setuppublicationlist[samplesize={vD82},totalnumber=1]

\startpublication[k=van-Dyke:82,t=book,
a={{van Dyke}},y=1982,
n=1,s=vD82]
\author[]{Milton}[M.]{van}{Dyke}
\pubyear{1982}
\title{An Album of Fluid Motion}
\city{Stanford, Calif.}
\pubname{Parabolic Press}
\stoppublication

\placepublications[criterium=all]


Hans and Taco, it seems that the bib module does not work with the ruby
version of texexec. The cite command prints only XXXX.

Cheers, Peter

Yes.

You still have to run bibtex by hand in the new version. And perhaps
you need to regerate the bbl file  as well (I didn't think so, but if
it doesn't work ...).

The new scripts should not influence the bib module, but it could be
an other change in the latest context that is confusing your TeX.
It works fine for me, so giving advice is hard.

Should I update the bibdemo.tex on the wiki to use criterium=all?  Or
is that example okay since \placepublications is not after
\startbackmatter?  (If so, I don't understand how \startbackmatter
changes it.)

Hello Taco,
I've retried with the ruby-version and now it works for me too, I really
don't know what error I've made this morning...
So excuse me please for the noise!
Cheers, Peter
