I personally use Jabref (a Java GUI application, check http://jabref.sf.net), as it simplifies my life quite a bit (fills in records from online databases such as PubMed, CiteSeer, etc. so I don't have to type at all!) I'm used to name the bibtex bibliography files ending in .bib, as that is what the LaTeX packages would expect ... don't know about ConTeXt, but in this thread and in the wiki, someone mentioned using the xampl.bib file that comes with the texlive distribution ... so probably ConTeXt will use it without asking. > Q2.

At least in LaTeX, the .bbl file is generated after processing the \cite commands within the main .tex file. > Q3. I am confused by the \cite[article-full] command in the example.

'article-full' _is_ the key or unique identifier for the corresponding article in the xampl.bib file. In my texlive distribution (Ubuntu) it is located in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bib/base/xampl.bib This is the corresponding entry: @ARTICLE{article-full, author = {L[eslie] A. Aamport}, title = {The Gnats and Gnus Document Preparation System}, journal = {\mbox{G-Animal's} Journal}, year = 1986, volume = 41, number = 7, pages = "73+", month = jul, note = "This is a full ARTICLE entry", } At your unix shell prompt, typing 'locate xampl.bib' would probably reveal the location in your system. > I didn't used to be this stupid, but the decades have taken a toll. > Tom Benjey Don't worry we're here to help! -- fernan ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
