Dear all,

I am in the process of learning how to use the bibliography mechanism in mkiv, 
and I would lik eto understand the meanings of the various parameters in the 
command:

\setupbtxrendering [...,1,...] [..,..2=..,..]
1 NAME
2 textstate     = start stop
pagestate               = start stop
separator               = COMMAND
criterium               = previous cite here all none 
filter          = TEXT
specification   = NAME
title                   = TEXT
before          = COMMAND
after                   = COMMAND
dataset         = NAME
method          = dataset force local global none
sorttype                = short dataset list reference used default cite index
repeat          = yes no
group           = NAME
numbering       = yes no num index tag short page

Indeed serveral of them are clear enough (such as dataset), some can be guessed 
by trial and error (such as numbering=yes or no) but some seem to me obscure or 
difficult to guess (what would numbering=page mean, or what would 
separator=COMMAND do, what does the title=TEXT corresponds to, etc).

Has someone some examples to play with in order to learn the meaning of these 
options?

Also, in real case document I would like to be able to typeset the bibliography 
with the following style:

the autho's name is followed by a « : »
the title of an article is in italic
the title of a book is in slanted sans serif
the number of the volume is in bold

Is it possible to do this by an appropriate setting of btxrendering, without 
going into the BibTeX file?

Thanks in advance for any help: OK
