Except that doesn't seem to work with the bibliography being placed using \placepublications in its own chapter in the backmatter. A similar issue was reported in 2006 http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg15442.html but the solution given then involved writing \placepublications[criterium=all]. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
