I had to do use a \vbox to get it to compile.  With \hbox I get:

  ! A <box> was supposed to be here.
  <to be read again> 
		     {
  l.9 \setbox\scratchbox={
			  \hbox{\placepublications}}
  ? 
  (./bibdemo.tuo
  ! You can't use `\prevdepth' in restricted horizontal mode.
  \nointerlineskip ->\prevdepth 
				-\thousandpoint 
  \dosomelistelement ...}}\endgraf \nointerlineskip 
						    \endgraf \allowbreak \list...

  \dodolistelement ...ement {#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}
						    \global \utilitydonetrue 
  l.15 ...om-note-crossref}}{2::0:0:0:0:0:0:0::1}{1}

  ? 

So I ended up with the code below.  Although it compiles, no
bibliography is produced (there's only a page 1 which has the text).
What silliness did I do?!

\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]
\setupbibtex[database=xampl]
\starttext
Tricky: \cite[random-note-crossref]

\newbox\scratchbox
\setbox\scratchbox=\vbox{\placepublications}

\completepublications
\stoptext

if so, 

\setbox\scratchbox=\hbox{\placepublications}

\startnointerference
  \placepublications
\stopnointerference 

is also ok then

The new module has \nocite. The solution is still a workaround,
but now you can say
	\nocite[<cited-crossref>]

I believe this is fixed in the current beta (as a side-effect of 
something else). I can send you that beta if you want to test it?

I still get only 1 page (i.e. with no bib) from this file:

\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]
\setupbibtex[database=xampl]
\starttext
Tricky: \cite[random-note-crossref]

\setbox\scratchbox=\hbox{\placepublications}

\startnointerference
\placepublications
\stopnointerference
\stoptext

Sure, I'll be happy to take it out for a spin.

No, this doesn't work, but I believe there is a workaround by putting

    \setbox\scratchbox={\hbox{\placepublications}}

just before the normal \placepublications or \completepublications.
(This works because it explicitly executes the embedded \crossref
outside of the actual publication list)

If that doesn't work or has undesired side-effects, you can do

     \setbox\scratchbox={\cite[lawrence:1979]}

but that solution requires you to know the used cross references
that appear in the bib file, whereas the first solution doesn't.

I'll try to fix this in a week of so. You have to wait until
after Idris' problems are solved, because I do not enough time
right now to fix everything.

You do know that, generally speaking, the latex companion doesn't
apply to the bib module, right? There are rumours about ConTeXt
actually being LaTeX3, but I can assure you those are untrue :-)

Yes, but it happens too late to allow inclusion in the list.

Bib-module: crossreferences

[Roelof Langman]

Hi Taco,

Are crossreferences supposed to work in the new bib module? According to the
Latex companion pp. 404ff. a crossreference can be made in an @inbook to a
@book provided the @inbook precedes the @book in a .bib-file. If a @book is
referenced at least two times by an @inbook, an entry for the @book is
included in the reference list. 

In the new bibtex-module for Context, the crossreferences are resolved
properly, I think, but the crossreferenced entry is not yet included in the
reference list.

I \cite[gould:1979] and \cite[rioch:1979], but lawrence:1979 doesn't appear
in the reference list.

Cheers, Roelof
