Dear ConTeXt experts,
I have a question about bibliographic entries and I'm using ConTeXt bib module (which is really great!!).
I have an article with a title that ends in a question mark. When the entry is typeset an additional period is placed at the end of the article via the \insertarttitle{ \bgroup``}{.'' \egroup}{} command.
Is there an easy way to adjust the \insertarttitle command so that if the last character of the title entry in the bib-file is a punctuation character (say ! or ?), then we do not append a period?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Best regards,
Ernesto

No, not at this time, sorry.
Best wishes,

Taco,
thanks for the response. Over the weekend I found a solution to my problem:
Instead of handling punctuation within the \insertarttitle{}{}{} command
I changed the BibTeX style file (cont-no.bst) to add the periods to those title entries
that need it with the command add.period$. And those titles that end in "?"
or "!" are properly handled by add.period$.
Ernesto
