Both the list and the citation are sorted on "authoryear". But the orders in
the pdf are different. Is this a bug in ConTeXT?

Yes indeed. I do not need a general solution (as that would be way too
complicated). But is there a nice way to fine-tune the rendering on the
spot? (In this case, I only need to have the first character capitalised, in
a few occasions.)
Thank you for your reply,
All the best,

[NTG-context] Two questions on bibliography
Dear mailing list,
My questions are related to one by Rik a few weeks back (but he did not get
an answer yet). I am using the APA style (context version 2018.10.03 16:02).
Q1: Shouldn't the order of multiple citations (using a single \cite command)
be the same as the order in the publications list? In the example below, the
orders are different.
Q2: Is there a way to capitalise the first letter of a last name in
\cite[...]? For example, this may be necessary when starting a new sentence.
But it is also generally preferred in Dutch when the last name starts with
'van' (or something similar).

Re: [NTG-context] xrightarrow is not straight
Dear Alan,
Thanks for the reply! Using \definemathstackers I can set the voffset to adjust
the vertical spacing. This is exactly what I needed, thanks!
However, I couldn't use the ahlength variable. I tried different values, but it
doesn't seem to change anything (and the current arrowhead is tiny). (Using
startMPcode and drawarrow gives a big arrowhead.)
Also I noticed that the content of \rightarrow{...} was not in mathmode, so I
tried using middlecommand=\mathermatics (I found this on the wiki and in the
docs). But that doesn't change anything. Is this a bug?
Example:
\useMPlibrary[mat]
\definemathstackers [mp]
[alternative=mp, voffset=-.3\mathexheight, middlecommand=\mathematics]
\definemathextensible [mp] [rightarrow] ["2192]
\startMPinitializations
ahlength := EmWidth ; % Does not work?
ahangle := 30 ;
ahvariant := 1 ;
ahdimple := 4/5 ;
\stopMPinitializations
\setuppapersize[A7]
\starttext
$A \rightarrow{$\neq f$ and $\neq g$} B$
$A \rightarrow{\neq f \text{ and } \neq g} B$ % Is not typeset in mathmode
\stoptext
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Joshua

Hello,
You can also use MetaPost to render math stackers, rather than relying on TeX
constructs and any particular font.
For example:
\useMPlibrary[mat]
\definemathstackers
[mp]
[alternative=mp]
\definemathextensible [mp] [leftarrow] ["2190]
\definemathextensible [mp] [rightarrow] ["2192]
\definemathextensible [mp] [leftrightarrow] ["2194]
\definemathextensible [mp] [longleftrightarrow] ["27F7] \definemathextensible
[mp] [rightoverleftarrow] ["21C4]
\definemathextensible [mp] [underbrace] ["FE3DF]
\setupbodyfont [dejavu-condensed,12pt]
\starttext
$\rightarrow{≠a}$
\stoptext
Furthermore, the MP arrow can be tuned
\startMPinitializations
ahlength := .5EmWidth ;
ahvariant := 1 ; % dimpled straight
\stopMPinitializations
as can line widths, etc.

[NTG-context] xrightarrow is not straight
Hi ConTeXt mailing list,
I am using the extensible arrows and I am not really satisfied with the
looks of it.
The most important issue I have is that the vertical spacing is too much.
You can see this in the attached picture: the left arrow is using
\xrightarrow{\neq a} and the right arrow is using \stackrel{\neq
a}{\longrightarrow}. I think the right one (with stackrel) looks more
natural. Is there a way to setup the vertical spacing?
Another thing I noticed is that the line is not very consistent. This might
be a font issue (I am using Euler). Luckily, the inconsistent overlap is
barely visible when printed.
Thanks again!
Groetjes,
Joshua

[NTG-context] Issue with bibtex crossref in combination with {-}
Hi ConTeXt people,
I found another issue with the crossref feature in ConTeXt. I get an error
when a {-} is used in a crossref. If it is used directly in the paper entry,
it works just fine. Replacing {-} by only - works, but the DBLP database
generates {-} and it would be nice to use that directly.
Example:
\usebtxdefinitions[apa]
\startbuffer[biblio]
@inproceedings{PAPER,
author= {First Last},
title = {PaperTitle},
booktitle = {Conference of BlaBla},
year = {2017},
crossref = {CONF},
}
@proceedings{CONF,
title = {Conference on BlaBla},
year = {2017},
editor= {Jan{-}Willem Jansen},
publisher = {Springer},
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset[biblio.buffer]
\starttext
See \cite{PAPER}.
\blank
\placelistofpublications
\blank
\showbtxdatasetcompleteness
\stoptext
This gives the error:
tex error > tex error on line 1 in file
C:/Users/joshua/Documents/PhD/Thesis/ConTeXtTests/biblio.tex: ! Extra }, or
forgotten \endgroup
But it should just work without errors (I think), since using extra {}
should work.
Thanks in advance.
Groetjes,
Joshua
