patch to bibl-ams.tex

patch to bibl-ams.tex

[Peter I. Hansen]

Hi

I'm typesetting a document using the context bib/bibltx modules and
the 'ams' style. In the printed bibliography, entries with many
authors are converted into:
"Hansen et al." as they should, but printed as:
"Hansenet al." which looks bad.

My output looks much better using the following very simple tweak of
the file 'bibl-ams.tex'

99c99
<     \c!artauthoretaltext={ {\it et al.\/}}]
---
>     \c!artauthoretaltext={ {\it\ et al.\/}}]

Just wanted to post is in case someone finds this handy.

-Peter

I thought I had fixed that (semi!)recently, IIRC the problem
was not in the bibl- file but a missing \relax in the core module.
Is

   http://modules.contextgarden.net/bib

still wrong?


Best wishes,
Taco

I just know that it didn't work the way I wanted. I use the version
provided by debian Sid (http://packages.debian.org/sid/texlive-base)
which seems to be numbered 2007-13.

I have no idea of what that number relates to at my end. If you look
up t-bib.tex on your harddisk, it should have a version= statement
on the third line.

Best wishes,
