Dear all,

I'd like use bibtex support. It's my first time in ConTeXt
I took a look at the wiki:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography
but cannot understand exactly.

1. I created a bibTest.bib file containing:
______________
%% Created for Andrea Valle at 2007-10-02 17:37:21 +0200


%% Saved with string encoding Western (ASCII)



@article{trezegol,
	Author = {Trezeguet, David},
	Date-Added = {2007-10-02 17:32:32 +0200},
	Date-Modified = {2007-10-02 17:37:19 +0200},
	Journal = {Soccer International Journal},
	Title = {How to score},
	Year = {2007}}

______________

2. I created in the same folder a bibTest.tex file with this:

\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]
\setupbibtex[database=xampl]
\starttext
As \cite[trezegol] already indicated, bibtex is a \LaTeX-centric  
program.
\completepublications
\stoptext


3. I compiled following the three steps indicated by the wiki
texexec --once bibTest
bibtex bibTest
texexec bibTest


Following the example, I have not indicated explicitly in the tex  
file the name of the biblio file. I guest it is implied by the tex  
file name (or not?)
In any case, I'm having this as a ref

  (Xxxxxxxxxx, 0000)

plus a new page with
Reference

intuitively empty.

What am I missing?

Thanks a lot

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

  It's not. Look at the output by texexec: it tries to open xampl.bib.
Just replace it with the actual name of the bib file.

  There would be no real point in making the name of the bib file depend
on the name of the ConTeXt file you process: the aim of bib files is to
hold a database of all your references so that you could share it
between all your documents; you could even have a huge list of all the
books you would ever refer to. So of course you can split them into
different categories but it does not really make sense to have one bib
file for each ConTeXt document.

	Arthur

Thanks Arthur.
No words needed. I totally agree with you. It's that I was confused  
by the xampl.bib. I didn't understand it was just an example file (oh  
well, I should have suspected, indeed...).
