BibTex module with AMS formatting

BibTex module with AMS formatting

[Pepe Barbe]

Hello everyone,

I am a new to ConTeXt and typesetting in general. I want to type set a
document that includes refereces using the AMS format. So far I have
set up in my environment the following:

\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]
\setupbibtex[database=MybibTeX,sort=author]

And later in my product

\completepublications

I have been doing some tests, the reference list appears in the end
with the numbers, but the actual references in the text just show up
empty, like this [].

I execute ConTeXt in the following way:

texexec --once mydoc.tex
bibtex mydoc.tex
texexec --pdf mydoc.tex

The BibTex module says I should run ConTeXt one more time, but it has
not helped. I am not sure if I should use --pdf since I remember there
were some issues with compiling directly to PDF using LaTeX when using
BibTex.

I am using context : ver: 2006.08.10 12:52 on MacOSX 10.4/Intel
installed with Gerben Wierda's i-installer.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Thanks,
Pepe

Can you create (and post) a minimal input file with the problem?

The bits you posted cannot be your whole input, sicne that would
not create numbers in the publication list, and my crystal ball
is not translucent enough to deduce the rest of your code.

Sorry for assuming the omniscience of your crystal ball. :-)

I created a simple file to illustrate my problem and, oh joys, it worked fine.

Going back to my product file, I decided to make a few changes and it
worked. Basically I had the following:

\startbackmatter
  \completepublications
\stopbackmatter

and it didn't work. If I moved \completepublications to

\startbodymatter
  \component chapter1
  \component chapter2
  \completepublications
\stopbodymatter

Then it will show the reference number in the body correctly. I
thought it made sense to put the References in the end.

This should (would) have worked also:

  \startbackmatter
    \completepublications[criterium=all]
  \stopbackmatter
