Just continuing to talk my way through the inner workings of the ConTeXt
Publication modules. It looks like three "long" citation forms are defined
in publ-imp-cite.mkvi:
\startsetups btx:cite:listelement
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat}
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext}
\ifx\currentbtxfirst\empty
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!empty}
\else
\texdefinition {\s!btx:\s!cite:inject} {
\btxcitereference
\currentbtxfirst
}
\fi
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:entry
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat}
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext}
\btxhandleciteentry
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote
\startfootnote
\fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}
\stopfootnote
\stopsetups
Intuitively, I would expect btx:cite:listelement [why not
\s!btx:\s!cite:listelement?] to handle rendering a bibliographic entry for
the bibliography proper (i.e., the list typically placed at the end of a
document), while \s!btx:\s!cite:entry would handle in-text citations. The
third setup, \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote, simply renders the "entry"-style
citation in a footnote.
But as far as I can tell, the "listelement" setup is never used outside of
publ-imp-cite.mkvi. Only the "entry" setup appears to be used. Meanwhile,
the \btxcitereference and \btxhandleciteentry macros (invoked in these
setups) appear to be defined in publ-ini.mkiv:
\unexpanded\def\btx_cite_reference_inject
{\ifconditional\c_btx_cite_reference_injected
\else
\dontleavehmode
\iftrialtypesetting \else
\ifx\currentbtxbacklink\empty
% can be made empty when combining author / year
\else\ifnum\currentbtxbacklink>\zerocount
\btx_cite_reference_inject_indeed
\settrue\c_btx_cite_reference_injected
\fi\fi
\fi
\fi}
...
\let\btxcitereference\btx_cite_reference_inject
...
\unexpanded\def\btxhandleciteentry
{\dontleavehmode
\begingroup
\def\currentbtxcitealternative{entry}%
\setbtxparameterset\s!cite\currentbtxcitealternative % needs checking
\btxcitereference
\btx_entry_inject
\endgroup}
My next step will be to figure out what these are doing, but I'm still not
sure if the module accommodates rendering in-text "entry" citations
differently than citations in the list.
