bibtex: "et al." and missing spacing before "et"

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

if I tex the following example, I get:
"Hu{\it et al.}" without space between "Hu" and "et".

Any idea why this happens? This is with:
- context version: 2007.01.12 15:56 (openSUSE's TeXLive)
- ver: 2007.03.19 11:20 MKII  fmt: 2007.4.2 (updated teTeX)
- Live ConTeXt  on the garden.

bibl-aps.tex contains:
    \c!authoretaltext={ {\it et al.\/}},
    \c!editoretaltext={ {\it  et al.\/}},
    \c!artauthoretaltext={ {\it et al.\/}}]

Probably a to-eager \ignorespaces. The best solution is
to start the texts in bibl-aps.tex:

  \c!authoretaltext={\ {\it et al.\/}},


Best, Taco

This turned out to be a missing \relax in t-bib.tex. Look for
this line in t-bib (around 650), and add a \relax after the
\commalistsize

   \ifnum\etallimitcounter<\commalistsize \bibalternative{#1etaltext}\fi

Best wishes, Taco
