Alternative Bibliography Processor with context MKIV

Question

Do MLBibTeX work with ConTeXt MKIV? If yes, the how to use it with mkiv?

Answer 1

I really recommend not to use MLBibTeX with ConTeXt MkIV, because it has an internal bibliography processor. You can read about it in the following references:

• From BibTeX to ConTeXt MkIV: Slides by Alan Braslau from the ConTeXt meeting in 2014
• Bibliographies the ConTeXt way: this is the manual

Below you find a simple example of how to use it.

\startbuffer[biblio]
@book{Knuth1984,
  author       = {Knuth, Donald E.},
  title        = {The \TeX book},
  year         = 1984,
  publisher    = {Addison-Wesley},
}
\stopbuffer

\usebtxdataset[biblio.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[apa]

\starttext
\cite[Knuth1984]
\placelistofpublications
