Hello,
I’m trying to create my first publication using ConTeXt mkiv. All going well
except for the bibliography formatting.
Previously I have used LaTeX, standard entry types in BibTeX, and custom output
formats using Biblatex.
My publication cites lots of historical sources, viz.:
(1) Newspaper articles — currently stored as ‘article’ types in BibTex.
(2) Archival sources (historic letter, some leather-bound volume, a
catalogued box of old photographs, etc.) — currently stored as ‘unpublished’ or
‘misc'.
I would prefer to store these (in BibTeX, buffer, lua, or xml) as custom types
(eg. ‘newspaper’, ‘archivalItem’), create setups for how they are output and
which fields I output.
I found a ’newspaper’ type (and other non-BibTeX types) defined in
publ-imp-apa.mkiv as:
\startsetups btx:apa:list:newspaper
\fastsetup{btx:apa:list:article}
\stopsetups
I hoped this would mean I could output something:
Boxing. (1903, September 13). The Sunday Times, p.8
However, if I create an item of type 'newspaper’ and \cite it I get an output
of all stored fields:
newspaper: [day: 13] [journal: {The Sunday Times}] [month: 09]
[pages:8][title: {Boxing.}] [type: newspaper article] [year: 1903]
A similar thing happens if I try to cite the standard BibTeX type ‘misc’.
If I store the newspaper item as type ‘article’ I get:
“Boxing.”, The Sunday Times, 8, 1903. (missing day and month)
Is it relevant that there is a problem when I include
\showbtxfields[rotation=30] in my document? The resulting table has ‘*’ for
fields in ‘article’, ‘book’, ‘demo-a’, ‘demo-b’ but the columns for ‘newspaper’
and ‘misc’ are empty.
Any pointers gratefully received.
Cheers,
Mike O’Connor
P.S. I am working in TeXShop on OSX (10.11.3), and it reports:
