Incompatibility bib num style / reference prefix option

Incompatibility bib num style / reference prefix option

[Morgan Brassel]

Hi,

I think I discovered a bug in the 'num' alternative of the bib module. It 
seems to be incompatible with the prefix=+ option of referencing. The 
following example gives an unknow reference:

% tex file
\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex[database=biblio]
\setuppublications[alternative=num]
\setuphead[chapter][prefix=+] % <<<< OK if commented
\starttext
\chapter[chap:one]{One} % <<<< OK if commented
Text \cite[test] text.
\completepublications
\stoptext

% bib file biblio.bib
@BOOK{test,
  title = {T},
  publisher = {P},
  year = {Y},
  author = {A}
}

By the way, the 'num' alternative also gives an unknow reference when 
\completepublications is not present, while the default alternative is OK. Is 
there a particular reason for this? Thanks.

Greetings,
Morgan

Yes, indeed. It is doubtful that it ever will be compatible with
prefixes, it needs to do too much black magic behind the scenes.

Yes. You are asking for the sequence number in the list of publications.
That is (by definition) undefined if there is no such list (yet).

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi Taco,

Thank you for the information. That's not really a problem to me, I'll 
change my references to new ones.

I see. Anyway, it seems weird to make citations in a document without 
including a bibliography...
