Re: bibmodule acquired problem

["Stefan Müller" <warrence.stm@gmx.de>]

Maybe one could modify

####################################
FUNCTION {inproceedings}
{ start.entry
   format.authors
   format.year
   format.arttitle
   crossref missing$
     { format.in.booktitle.or.series
       format.number.series
       "" "\city" address do.out
       format.pages
     }
     { format.incoll.inproc.crossref
       format.pages
     }
   if$
   "" "\pubname" publisher do.out
   "" "\organization" organization do.out
   stop.entry
}
####################################

to

in cont-*.bst? I don't know if this would cause any trouble...

The fact that it used to work but now doesn't may well be connected with the fact that the booktitle in those cases came from a "crossref =" item in the bib file. Could it be the \crossref{} macro is not recognized any longer by the ConTeXt bib module?
