/author parameters in Bib module

/author parameters in Bib module

["Guðmundur J. Kristjánsson"]

Hi all.

I´m a relative newbie in ConTEXt but have used LaTEX for a couple of 
years. I recently decided to write me master's thesis in ConTEXt and so 
far it has been sweet...

I was looking into the Bib module and there is only one thing that I 
can't find in the documentation. What are parameters in the \author 
field? This is what I found in the documentation:

\author[#1]{#2}[#3]{#4}{#5} AUTHOR The author of a standalone 
publication, like a monograph.

What do #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 stand for? If we look at the doc we get:
\author[]{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater}

So we get:
#2 = First name.
#3 = Initial of first name? Middle name?
#5 = Last name

I have no idea what to do with #1 and #4.

Thanks in advance...

Best regards/Kær kveðja,

Hi.

Thanks alot. So #3 was middle name? If I´m correct then the parameters are:
#1: Junior (as in Jr. (child with same name as father)?).
#2: First name.
#3: Middle name?
#4: von (can this also be used as another middle name?).
#5: Last name.

Yes, that is the intent.

It officially stands for "inits", but what it means is more or
less up to the style.

> #4: von (can this also be used as another middle name?).

In some styles, yes. In others not. An author with  a von part
can be typeset as both

	von Munchhausen
	Munchhausen, von

this is a matter of style (as are the variious choices for
initials, middle name and first name).

> #5: Last name.

Yes.

Cheers,
