bib: potential range of bibliography styles?

bib: potential range of bibliography styles?

Greetings all,

I'm leaning towards experimenting with the bib module to see if I can 
arrive at a usable "Semiotics Society of America" reference section, 
which is a historically layered style, along the lines of:

---

PEIRCE, Charles S.
	1859. "An Essay on the Limits of Religious Thought Written to Prove 
That We
		  Can Reason Upon the Nature of God", MS 53, in W1:37-40
	1982. Writings of Charles S. Peirce: a Chronological Edition, ed. Max 
Fisch,
		  Peirce Edition Project. Five volumes. (Bloomington: Indiana 
University
		  Press, 1982-98).

TEILHARD de Chardin, Pr. P.
	1961. (posthumously). Hymn of the Universe (New York: Harper & Row
		  Torchbooks, English Edition, 1965).
	1957. (posthumously). The Divine Milieu (New York: Harper & Row 
Colophon
		  Books Edition, 1968).

---

Aside from all the niggling details (which I'm sure could be worked 
out), is this kind of layout in general possible—all citations going by 
year underneath a single instance of the author? …or am I doomed to 
forever make these by hand? ;)

Regards,
David

I'd say it is doable, but not trivial. ;-)

You need to use \setupbibtex[sort=author], of course.  I you can
make it come out like below (all that should be doable using just
the documented features of the bib module), then I will help you
'compress' the repeating authors afterwards, ok?

Hm. A quick question—is there a way to call "all true upper case" 
(instead of {\sc small caps})? I haven't been able to track this down 
in the usual places. For myself the small caps are preferable, but 
they're not "officially sanctioned" :).

I have to guess a bit on what the 'official' ConTeXt way is to
get all uppercase text, but I think this is it:

   \uppercased{all caps}

Great, that does the trick. Another quickie:

This bib style demands that the first author/editor is 
"invertedauthor", while the subsequent authors/editors are 
"normalauthor", e.g.:

WOOTEN, David and Charles M. SCHULZ and Kris KRINGLE.
	2005.  Adventures in Babysitting, etc.

Is there currently the possibility of distinguishing between the first 
& subsequent authors? (From my preliminary investigations it looks like 
all authors automatically follow the declared style.)

Regards,
David

P.S. This is a lot more fun than preparing for my exams!
