Re: [NTG-context] m-bib, \cite and no year?

In authoryear styles, year entries are usually required, so I am going to 
keep this as it is now. You can either use \cite[author] for this case, or 
you could build your own \cite command, in a similar way to Tobias' answer:
 Sorry for bothering you that much.  I'm now using \cite[author], yet
there is one place I can't solve that way, which is cross references:
@Article{dominus04,
  author = 	 {Mark Jason Dominus},
  title = 	 {Slide Rule},
  journal = 	 {Wikipedia},
  year = 	 2004,
  crossref =     {Wikipedia},
  month = 	 May,
  note = 	 
{\gotoURL{http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Slide_rule&oldid=3849585}}
}

@Misc{Wikipedia,
  key =          {Wikipedia},
  title =        {Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia},
  howpublished = {\gotoURL{http://wikipedia.com}}
}
 Not that I plan to use really many wikipedia entries, but the problem
as such seems to exist.  (I am not sure about using @Article here, but
that's another topic.)
 As an aside, there is another problem: The
entry cross-referenced to does not appear – this seems to be a general
problem with cross-references.  I'm using \completepublications, but the
same happens with \placepublications.  (I haven't managed to get the
list sorted by author, either.)
 Another thing I stumbled upon:  Using \type{whatever} in a BibTeX entry
does not work: “whatever” is simply ignored.  (It is intact in the .bbl 
file, as in

\startpublication[k=Kulpa,t=misc,
a={Kulpa},y=2004,
n=40,s=Kul04]
\author[]{Zenon}[Z.]{}{Kulpa}
\pubyear{2004}
\month{6}
\pubname{{message [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the 
mailing
  list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\stoppublication

where I'm using \type because of the _.)
 Finally, the entry
\startpublication[k=abramowitz,t=book,
a={Abramowitz and Stegun},y=1972,
n=30,s=AS72]
\editor[]{Milton}[M.]{}{Abramowitz}
\editor[]{Irene~A.}[I.~A.]{}{Stegun}
\pubyear{1972}
\title{{Handbook of Mathematical Functions}}
\pubname{Dover Publications}
\edition{ninth}
\stoppublication
is indented by about one interword space relative to the entries not
using \editor.  Which commands do the actual typesetting of the list 
entries?  I only got to \@@pbt and was lost ...
