In my list of references, I can't get the author or title (of journal
article) to print. In my .tex file, I have the following lines:
\usemodule[bib]
\setuppublications[alternative=ams,refcommand=num,numbering=yes]
and in my .bbl file the (so far) only reference is:
\startpublication[k=birn06,
t=article,
a=D.~Birnbache,
y=1999]
\author{Dieter}{}{Birnbache}
\title{The Socratic method in teaching medical ethics: Potentials and
limitations}
\pubyear{1999}
\journal{Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy}
\volume{2}
\issue{3}
\pages{219-224}
\stoppublication
However, when I typeset the file, the reference list consists of
[1] , Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 2, 219 (1999).
I'm a little confused about all the variables, commands and parameters. So
- first, what am I doing wrong? Second, are there somewhere out there some
example files of bibliography usage (I learn best by seeing what other
people have done, and adapting that to my own ends)? Third: can I include
the references in the body of the .tex file (as you can do with LaTeX and
the thebibliography environment)?
Thanks,
Alasdair

Normally, a .bib file is made by the user and ConTeXt (and LaTeX as well) generate the .bbl file for you. Your example works for me using the following code \setupbibtex[database={library}] \setuppublications[alternative=ams] \starttext Bla\cite{birn06} \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext with a .bib file containing @article{birn06, author = {Dieter Birnbache}, title = {The Socratic method in teaching medical ethics: Potentials and limitations}, year = {1999}, journal = {Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy}, volume = {2}, issue = {3}, pages = {219-224} } More information is on the wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography, e.g. why you do not need to use a module any more.

I was trying to do it all in one file, and finding the bib module documentation quite confusing. And for what it's worth, I'm using mkii. -Alasdair On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Andy Thomas <andythomas@web.de> wrote: > Hello, > > I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but do you directly edit a > bbl file?
