Hi,
maybe this is a known issue, but I couldn't find anything about it, so I'm
reporting it.
I'm writing a ConTeXt document called modern-c++.tex (in OS X 10.7.5). The
content of the file is:
\setupbibtex[database={modern-c++}, sort=author]
\setuppublications[numbering=yes]
\starttext
\completepublications[criterium=all]
\stoptext
(Well, I haven't started to write my notes yet.) When typesetting it, though, no
bibliography is printed (I've tried with Mark II/IV from MacTeX and with the
latest Mark IV stable/beta). Renaming the .tex file to cplusplus.tex solves the
problem (there is no need to rename the .bib file).
Nicola

This is by design. To quote the manual: “It is highly recommended, that all input files, i.e. the ConTEXt source and other included files such as image files, have only the letters a–z, digits and dashes in their names, that is in the names of their full paths, otherwise you can easily get into problems.” > I'm writing a ConTeXt document called modern-c++.tex (in OS X 10.7.5).

So I ran some tracing: \enabletrackers [resolvers.readfile] \starttext \readfile{file++.ext}{}{} \stoptext This reports: files > readfile > not found by tree lookup: file .ext Which means the “++” is replaced by two spaces, instead of searching for “file++.ext” or “file.ext” which is what I had expected. I didn't dig into the code to check where the spaces creep in. Regardless if this particular issue gets fixed or not, I doubt that Hans will put much effort into general support for “esoteric” file names. So, it's best to avoid plus signs in file names.

So, it's best to avoid plus signs in file names. indeed. names are parsed as url's (so + become space) so a possible fix is: function getreadfilename(scheme,path,name) local fullname if hasscheme(name) or is_qualified_path(name) then fullname = name else name = url.escape(name) -- yes or no ? fullname = ((path == "") and format("%s:///%s",scheme,name)) or format("%s:///%s/%s",scheme,path,name) end return resolvers.findtexfile(fullname) or "" -- can be more direct end but one cannot predict how this passes further on through the system also, because one can say: \readfile{file\letterpercent2B\letterpercent2B.ext}{}{} the hack in fact should be: if not string.find(name,"%%") then name = url.escape(name) -- if no % in names end which then handles both \readfile{file\letterpercent2B\letterpercent2B.ext}{}{} \readfile{file++.ext}{}{} ok. Of course, when moving from c++ to c# one gets things like \readfile{file\letterhash.ext}{}{} where the # will sometimes confuses macros later on.
