Dear Knights,
Comments used to work in bbl files but no longer:
==========
\starttext
\setuppublications[alternative=apa]
\startpublication[k=corbin81,
t=book,
a=Corbin,
y=1981,
s=Corbin81]
\author[]{Henry}[H.]{}{Corbin}
% \author[]{Henry}[H.]{von }{Corbin}
\title{The Concept of Comparative Philosophy}
\pubname{Golgonooza Press}
\city{Ipswich, United Kingdom}
\pubyear{1981}
\stoppublication
\placepublications [criterium=all] % inherits from \setuppublications
% \completepublications[criterium=cite] % only works with criterium=all
\stoptext
==========
See the attached pdf; we get in the pdf output:
%Corbin, H. and von Corbin, H. (1981).
with an explicit '%'.
Can this be fixed?
From bibl-tra.mkiv:
======
%D \item Attempt to fix percent signs in bbl files. As a side-effect,
%D this prohibits comments in \tex{startpublication} blocks!

But we can do, e.g.,
====
\startpublication[k=corbin81,
t=book,
a=Corbin,
y=1981,
s=Corbin81]
\author[]{Henry}[H.]{}{Corbin}
\title{The Concept of Comparative Philosophy}
\pubname{Golgonooza Press}
\city{Ipswich, United Kingdom}
\comment{This is a comment}
\pubyear{1981}
\stoppublication
====
or \unexpanded\def\MyComment#1{}
Not as convenient as toggling % in an editor, but will do in a pinch.
Again, from discussion with Hans.
Strange I did not encounter this earlier. But I've been using a large
pre-2008 bbl database for the current project...
Best wishes
Idris
