Using \setuppublications [numbering=short,% refcommand=short] The publication list shows the final entry as the reference for all entries. Thus ghi03 the publication data for abc01 ghi03 the publication data for def02 ghi03 the publication data for ghi03 2. A previously mentioned bug still appears to be there where (when using refcommand=num and numbering=yes) a cite[ref1,ref2,ref3] becomes [1-2] rather than [1-3]. Earlier Peter Jander tracked that down to a bug in a macro called \docompareitems in Syst-ext. The last line should read \advance\scratchcounter \plusone} instead of \advance\scratchcounter \minusone} otherwise an already sorted list will be reduced to the first two elements. I think I am using the updated version 3. Formatting the publication list does not appear to take commands such as strut=yes. Bibmod.pdf suggests that \setuplist commands should work but not many seem to. The specific problem I am trying to address is the spacing between items in the publication list which is variable and much too small it is like framed with no strut and no \blank. \setuppublicationlist[after={\blank[medium]}] has helped but it is not perfect. 4. The publication list has references which are not enclosed in square brackets. How do I generate a more usual publication list (in the IEEE) which is enclosed in square brackets? [1] first publication [2] second publication Etc. TIA -- Nigel
