Hi Otared,

I work with lots of bibliographies and want my very own styles, and I have indeed found that it is easier to define my own styles rather than modify the existing ones. So what you want to do: 1. you define your own style, let’s call it otared. So in your main tex file, you would have this line: \usebtxdefinitions [otared] This means you have to create two files, one for the lua definitions, one for tex. 2. For the lua file, just take publ-imp-apa.lua and cpy it as publ-imp-otared.lua. Chances are you won’t have to make any changes right away. The content is pretty straightforward lua code. 3. The tex file publ-imp-otared.mkvi will then contain your definitions in a block \startbtxrenderingdefinitions[otared] ... \stopbtxrenderingdefinitions You define two different sets of definitions: one for the citations in the text (in the form \startsetups btx:cite:XXX), one for the list of references (in the form \startsetups btx:list:XXX). Here you can make all the formatting you want: article name in red, author name for articles in small caps, journal name in 3D, whatever. Again, just look at publ-imp-apa.mkvi and try to understand how it works; it’s not that difficult. > The second question is: how can one write a file containing only the > references which are used in a document, so that that file can be in some way > included into the main document (this is somewhat analogous to the .bbl file > created by BibTeX, which allows to include a series of \bibitem into an > article written with LaTeX: this is necessary to do when one submits a paper > to a mathematical journal). > > Thanks again for your help: OK The list of references is included in the .tuc file that a context run produces. If you need to massage it into any other form, 5 minutes of lua coding can extract the salient information for you.
