Bibtex and "et al"

Bibtex and "et al"

[Pepe Barbe]

Hi,

I am using the bib module using the AMS format. I've noticed that all
the publications that get appended "et al" to the authors, do not
include any space between the authors name and "et al". Example:

John Doeetal, Publication Title

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
Pepe

Shouldn't happen. What version do you use, and, if the latest, do you
have an minimal example file for me to test with?

Are you running a recent version of the module? Taco's definition of  
"authoretal" seems OK:

     \c!authoretaltext={ {\it et al.\/}},

so there's a space here. Also, it would help to have a minimal test  
file.

I don't really know what version of the Bib module I have. I am using
the latest ConTeXt beta.

Attached you can find a BibTeX file and A ConTeXt file that generate
the problem I was describing.

Thanks,

The space gets eaten away by a bug. That will be fixed in the next
release. Meanwhile, you can use this:

   \setuppublicationlist
    [authoretaltext={\ {\it et al.\/}},
     editoretaltext={\ {\it  et al.\/}},
     artauthoretaltext={\ {\it et al.\/}}]
