Bibliographic entries

Dear ConTeXt experts, 
 
I have a question about bibliographic entries and I'm using ConTeXt bib module (which is really great!!).
 
I have an article with a title that ends in a question mark.  When the entry is typeset an additional period is placed at the end of the article via the \insertarttitle{ \bgroup``}{.'' \egroup}{} command.  
 
Is there an easy way to adjust the \insertarttitle command so that if the last character of the title entry in the bib-file is a punctuation character (say ! or ?), then we do not append a period?
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 
Best regards, 
 
Ernesto

No, not at this time, sorry.

Best wishes,

Taco, 

thanks for the response.  Over the weekend I found a solution to my problem:

Instead of handling punctuation within the \insertarttitle{}{}{} command
I changed the BibTeX style file (cont-no.bst) to add the periods to those title entries
that need it with the command add.period$.  And those titles that end in "?" 
or "!" are properly handled by add.period$.

Ernesto
