I am using the ConTeXt-SBL module to handle the citations in my article. Using
the plain \cite[na2006] command has worked fine.
But there are some situations where I want the footnote to include page number
details. I tried using \cite[extra=2][na2006], but that doesn't seem compatible
with ConTeXt-SBL. I checked the documentation, and if I understand correctly, I
should use the autocite command to add page numbers to my citation? Like this:
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}
This solution works in 95% of cases, but when I need to cite another book
immediately after that, it throws up errors:
This won't compile: \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989} This won't compile:
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}%%
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989}
This also won't compile:
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989}
After much trial and error, I found this will compile:
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989}
The problem with this last example, is if my citations appear within the
paragraph, then I end up with a paragraph break in the wrong place!
Here is my minimum working example, which won't compile unless I add a blank
line between the two citations.
\usemodule[publ-imp-sbl]
\startbuffer [bib]
@Article{na2006,
title={Volcanoes \word{of} New Mexico},
year={2006},
journal={New Mexico Earth Matters},
publisher={New Mexico Bureau \word{of} Geology \word{and} Mineral Resources},
volume={6},
number={1},
location={Socorro, New Mexico}
}
@Book{clark1989,
author = {Clark, William},
title = {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico},
publisher = {New Mexico Magazine},
year = {1989},
address = {Albuquerque, New Mexico},
isbn = {9780937206126}
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset[bib.buffer]
\setupbtx[dataset=default]
\usebtxdefinitions[sbl]
\setupbtx[sbl]
\starttext
\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}
\autocite[{\loc[3]}][]{clark1989}
\startchapter[title=Bibliography]
\placelistofpublications
\stopchapter
\stoptext
Is the autocite command the wrong tool for what I need? How can I place
citations right next to each other, but also include page number information
with ConTeXt-SBL?
