Hello Alan,

thanks for the idea. Now I have:

---- Bib6.mkiv, UTF-8
\startbuffer[biblio]
@article{Angell,
    Author = {Marcia Angell},
    Journal = {New York Review of Books},
    Month = {July 15},
    Title = {The Truth About the Drug Companies},
    Year = {2004},
}
@article{Me,
    Author = {Štěpán Čech},
    Journal = {New York Review of Books},
    Month = {July 15},
    Title = {The Truth About the Drug Companies},
    Year = {2004},
}
@article{101,
    Author = {Štěpán Čech},
    Journal = {New York Review of Books},
    Month = {July 15},
    Title = {The Truth About the Drug Companies},
    Year = {2004},
}
\stopbuffer

%%

\usebtxdataset[biblio.buffer]

\if+- % (1)
    \def\bracketed#1{\hbox to 20pt{\hfill [#1]}}

    \setuppublications
      [sorttype=bbl,
       autohang=no,
       refcommand=num,
       criterium=all,
       numbering=bib,
       %numbercommand=\bracketed,
      ]
\fi

%%

\starttext
    Hello \cite[Angell] \cite[Me] \cite[101]!

    \hairline
    \placelistofpublications[criterium=all]
    \hairline
    %\placepublications[criterium=all] % (2)
\stoptext
----

Some more questions:

1) Is "\placepublications" deprecated?

I'm getting "Undefined control sequence" when I uncomment (2);
even though \placepublications is widely cited on wiki (e.g. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv ) and is also mentioned in bibmod-doc.pdf (http://www.let.rug.nl/alfa/texmf/tetex30/context/bib/bibmod-doc.pdf ).

2) When I turn (1) on (\if+- -> \if++), the Ctx doesn't crash but citations are broken and no list of pubs is generated.

I copied \setuppublications from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Theory_book_style ;
strange for me that also "empty" \setuppublications (i.e.

    \setuppublications
      [%sorttype=bbl,
       %autohang=no,
       %refcommand=num,
       %criterium=all,
       %numbering=bib,
       %numbercommand=\bracketed,
      ]

) produces the same "no-result".

3) I would like to alter citation style from "[1]" to "MA2004"; I guess this could be done by "\setuppublications[refcommand=author]" (see bibmod-doc.pdf, art. 2.1, pg. 2);
but - as mentioned at 2) - it doesn't work.

4) Finally, in list of publications, I'd rather enumerate publications in "[1]" style rather than simple "1", i.e. enclose the publication number into [].

In http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Theory_book_style , "\setuppublications[numbercommand=\bracketed]" provided that, but again, it doesn't work here due to 2).

So, how to overcome all these obstacles?

Best regards,

Lukas
