Oh, and needless to say, I'd be happy to help with this.

Chicago is certainly not a bad choice for this. It's probably one of the most complete footnote specifications out there. (I knows multiple variants though, so you need to settle for one or support both.)
One thing to be aware of is that Chicago is utterly complex. Other styles like MHRA are a bit simpler. This complexity might be an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. It may be hard to get this completely right. The already mentioned biblatex-chicago package shows how much is involved. OTOH, if you get this right that should cover almost everything that might come up in note based styles.

Hi Alan, Hans, and Chicago style bibliography users,

> 3) I believe that Gavin (on CC:) is a user of the Chicago author-year
> model.

I’d like to use the Notes and Bibliography style in my physics book, with endnotes after each chapter. I would gladly participate by testing and providing feedback. I am using a patched-together \footnote solution right now, and it is not great.

The existing "biblatex-chicago” package might be helpful for development, especially in selecting database syntax and perhaps in designing algorithms. The author, David Fussner, has been maintaining and updating since the first public release in 2008. It the extensive documentation, he invites contact. It looks like a complicated project!

I’d be happy to discuss this more at our next Norther Colorado ConTeXt User meeting. Would some time next week work? (Alan, who I met on this mailing list, lives a short bike ride from my house.)

Gavin

Chicago-style footnote user here,

I would be interested in helping with testing.

First of all, come to a consensus on a clear style guide to base this
on, so as not to run after ambiguous and perhaps contradictory
specifications. This would be distinct from the APA (author-year) model
as well as from the minimalist APS (numbered) style. Could this perhaps
be the Chicago style? (does that have a footnote specification?)

Secondly, identify users who would be willing to spend time testing and
giving feedback.

Thirdly, motivate Hans and myself to spend time on this (implementing
or helping implement), for neither of us use the footnote style.

So it can be done, and such a model is presently missing.

Alan

So what would be needed to make add real support for it?

Indeed (one can always use \footnote{} but that might not be a good 
substitute for a proper footnote citation style.

I do not use footnote citations as a general style (and personally 
dislike it, finding them somewhat distracting and sloppy). Yet these are 
popular in many fields and there is no reason not to support it.

Is this first citation vs other citations thing currently possible with ConTeXt? I was thinking that there was no proper support for note style citations in ConTeXt? Has that changed? I remember reading the phrase "We may add additional citation styles if there demand and clear requirements exist." So what's the current state of affairs here?

This is the shortest example I could get, some lines got very long but
I did not want it be too many lines. If I compile this, I get:
(First Last: Title. Subtitle. City: Publisher 2021.)
First Last: Title. Subtitle.
1 First Last: Title. Subtitle. City: Publisher 2021.

I am not sure that I understand your snippet (a mwe would be useful).
However, it appears that your setup is for the "list" rendering of a 
book, and you do specify authorconversion=normal for lists.

Keep in mind that the bibliography system uses inheritance so it is 
important to set options in the right places. Once everything gets 
initialized, changing a higher-level parameter might not propagate to 
lower-level instances if they have already been defined, the inheritance 
taking place at definition time.

Thank you! I've moved the files into
$TEXMFHOME/tex/context/personal/... and updated the database. This
solved the first part of the problem perfectly
Hopefully there is also a solution to the second issue.

Try running mtxrun --generate to update the database.

However, I think that texmf-context/... is a bad place to put local files because they can be overwritten by system update. It may be better to put them in $TEXMFHOME/tex/context/personal/...

Hi there,

My university has special requirements for the theses I submit.
Layout, fonts etc. are pretty straightforward to set up in ConTeXt.
The one part I'm struggling with is citations / bibliography.
I have to use the german citation style with footnotes. Essentially
the first time I cite something, I have to put the full entry in a
footnote. From the second time on, I only have to put a shorter entry
in the footnotes.
I have two problems:

1. I created the publ-imp-deu.lua and publ-imp-deu.mkvi files. If I
put them into the
~/bin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/ directory, I
get the following two lines in the log:
```
publications    > unknown library 'deu'
publications    > no data definition file 'publ-imp-deu.lua' for 'deu'
```
If I put them into the directory where my thesis is, they seem to get
recognized, but I would very much like to reuse them and not have to
copy them to each project directory. What am I doing wrong?

2. Entries in the bibliography and fist time citations must have
'normal' authorconversion, while consequent citations must have
'normalshort'. For consequent citations I defined the 'authortitle'
alternative.
In the thesis I have:
```
\usebtxdataset[default][literature.bib]
\usebtxdefinitions[deu]
\setupbtx[deu]
```
A snippet from the publ-imp-deu.mkvi:
```
\definebtx
    [deu:list]
    [deu]
    [authorconversion=normal]

\definebtx
    [deu:cite]
    [deu]
    [authorconversion=normalshort,
     alternative=authortitle]

\startsetups btx:deu:list:book
{\sc \btxflush{author}}\btxcolon \btxflush{title}
\btxdoif{subtitle}{\btxperiod\btxflush{subtitle}}\btxperiod
\btxflush{address}\btxcolon \btxflush{publisher} \btxflush{year}
\btxdoif{series}{ (\btxflush{series} \btxflush{volume})}\btxperiod
\stopsetups

```
In the setup and definition, the fields I defined do get into the
citation correctly, but the authorconversion remains 'normal'. If I
comment out the lines which set up 'normal' authorconversion for the
list, everything, including the bibliography and 'entry' type
citations get 'normalshort'. Is that a bug or am I missing something?

Thank you,
Agoston
