Chicago citations in endnotes; short titles in bibliographies

Chicago citations in endnotes; short titles in bibliographies

I was just looking at the documentation for the Bibliography module and
wondering if anyone has tried to implement the full-on Chicago Manual of
Style "Author-Title" documentation format for endnotes/footnotes in books --
i.e. citations of the form "Author, Full Title, Publisher, page" followed in
subsequent references by "Author, Short Title, page" plus support for
"Ibid," "op.cit," and so forth.

Seems like this would be hard, but there are a lot of books out there that
follow this style (at least in the U.S.), especially in history/social
sciences.

To do so would require supporting a "\shorttitle" field and adding
mechanisms to keep track of what has been cited (in order to implement
switching between full and shortened reference forms and enable ibid/op.cit.
).

As an editor, this is probably beyond my technical abilities. Even so, if I
wanted to mess around with this, where would I start learning about the
internals of bibliography support in Context (beyond the documentation for
the bib module)?

Thanks,
PPN

Hi Peter,

a similar question was asked not long ago ... and as it happens, some time 
before that even by me. My solution for ibid footnote citations can be found  
here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/54129

It's surely not the "Chicago Manual of Style"-style but probably the 
"hardest" part of it (the citation repetition logic). The citation style 
related stuff is in the bibl-*.tex files and it should be possible to use 
for example bibl-apa.tex as starting point.

Best regards,
Andreas.
