Dear list,

I'm struggling to output bibliography entries into lua for string modification (like making a particular author name bold). In effect, I just need something like the following:

\starttexdefinition btx:customauthor
    \startluacode
    local text = context.btxflush('author')
    -- tex.sprint(text) -- fails because text remains nil
    \stopluacode
\stoptexdefinition

It's clear that btxflux is the wrong function for this as it writes the contents to file rather than returning a variable in lua... Is there a way to directly access what btxflush is writing through the publications table or other means? I've gone over the source code but I can't decipher what btxflush is actually doing.

Thanks,

Stan

Longer MNWE:

\stopluacode

\startbuffer[ref]
@article{solo,
  author = {Lastname, Firstname},
  title = {Solo work},
  journal = {Journal},
  year = {2000},
  month = {1},
  volume = {1}
}
\stopbuffer

\usebtxdataset[ref][ref.buffer]
\setupbtx[dataset=ref]

\definebtxrendering[ref][dataset=ref]
\setupbtx[default:cite]
  [alternative=authoryear,
   etallimit=1]


\starttexdefinition btx:customauthor
    \startluacode
    local text = context.btxflush('author')
    -- tex.sprint(text) -- text remains nill
    \stopluacode
\stoptexdefinition

\startsetups btx:default:list:article
    \texdefinition{btx:customauthor}
    \texdefinition{btx:default:title}
    \texdefinition{btx:default:journal}
    \texdefinition{btx:default:year}
    \removeunwantedspaces
    \removepunctuation
    \btxperiod
\stopsetups

\starttext
