Bibtex to bbl-file conversion

Bibtex to bbl-file conversion

[finkler]

Hello there,

somehow texexec (in the latest minimal distribution) does not convert my
bibtex-file correctly into an bbl-file.

-------------------------
My bibtex file:

@BOOK{Fowler2006,
  author = {Fowler, C. M. R.},
  year = {2006},
  title = {The Solid Earth. An Introduction to Global Geophysics},
  location = {New York},
  publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
  pages = {685},
  edition = {2}
}

The resulting bbl-file:

\setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Fow06},totalnumber=1]

\startpublication[k=Fowler2006,t=book,
a={{Fowler}},y=2006,
n=1,s=Fow06]
\author[]{C.~M.~R.}[C.~M.~R.]{}{Fowler}
\pubyear{2006}
\title{The Solid Earth. An Introduction to Global Geophysics}
\pubname{Cambridge University Press}
\edition{2}
\stoppublication
----------------------------

As you can see, "pages" is omitted, and another problem is that I'd like
to have "location" converted to "city"; is this possible?
Can someone give me some hints as solve my problems, why does texexec
not recognize the "pages" variable?

regards,
finkler

You can have 'pages' in various types of entries like 'article'
and 'inbook', but not 'book'. The 'location' field is not a standard
field at all so it is not recognized.

See

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX#Entry_Types

for a list of standard bibtex fields. The context bib module
understands a few more, but it will not accept 'just anything'.

Best wishes,
Taco
