I solved it, although it's kinda hacky. I'm pretty sure that publications.citevariants.short is not meant to be called directly.
Do you know why `context.getdetail(dataset, tag, "author")` does not work in
render_cite?
It always returns nil.
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
@Article{someother,
author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer
% enable tracing
\enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details,
publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main, numbering=short]
\setupbtxlist[aps][
alternative=b,
distance=.5em,
]
\definebtx[aps:cite:special][aps:cite]
\startluacode
function render_cite(dataset, tag, righttext)
local luadata = publications.datasets[dataset].luadata
local entry = luadata[tag]
local extrasign = ""
if entry.author:lower():find("knuth") then
extrasign = ">"
end
context("[" .. extrasign)
print(righttext)
publications.citevariants.short({dataset = dataset, reference = tag,
variant = "short", righttext = righttext})
context("]")
end
\stopluacode
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
\btxcitereference
\ctxlua{render_cite([==[\currentbtxdataset]==], [==[\currentbtxtag]==],
[==[\currentbtxrighttext]==])}
\stopsetups
\setupbtx[aps:cite][alternative=special]
\starttext
\def\comma{,}
Knuth developed \TeX~\cite[knuth1]
Several persons said something~\cite[someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
