Just continuing to talk my way through the inner workings of the ConTeXt Publication modules. It looks like three "long" citation forms are defined in publ-imp-cite.mkvi: \startsetups btx:cite:listelement \fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat} \fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext} \ifx\currentbtxfirst\empty \fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!empty} \else \texdefinition {\s!btx:\s!cite:inject} { \btxcitereference \currentbtxfirst } \fi \fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext} \stopsetups \startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:entry \fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat} \fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext} \btxhandleciteentry \fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext} \stopsetups \startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote \startfootnote \fastsetup{btx:cite:entry} \stopfootnote \stopsetups Intuitively, I would expect btx:cite:listelement [why not \s!btx:\s!cite:listelement?] to handle rendering a bibliographic entry for the bibliography proper (i.e., the list typically placed at the end of a document), while \s!btx:\s!cite:entry would handle in-text citations. The third setup, \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote, simply renders the "entry"-style citation in a footnote. But as far as I can tell, the "listelement" setup is never used outside of publ-imp-cite.mkvi. Only the "entry" setup appears to be used. Meanwhile, the \btxcitereference and \btxhandleciteentry macros (invoked in these setups) appear to be defined in publ-ini.mkiv: \unexpanded\def\btx_cite_reference_inject {\ifconditional\c_btx_cite_reference_injected \else \dontleavehmode \iftrialtypesetting \else \ifx\currentbtxbacklink\empty % can be made empty when combining author / year \else\ifnum\currentbtxbacklink>\zerocount \btx_cite_reference_inject_indeed \settrue\c_btx_cite_reference_injected \fi\fi \fi \fi} ... \let\btxcitereference\btx_cite_reference_inject ... \unexpanded\def\btxhandleciteentry {\dontleavehmode \begingroup \def\currentbtxcitealternative{entry}% \setbtxparameterset\s!cite\currentbtxcitealternative % needs checking \btxcitereference \btx_entry_inject \endgroup} My next step will be to figure out what these are doing, but I'm still not sure if the module accommodates rendering in-text "entry" citations differently than citations in the list.
