ConTeXt: Customize bibliography list field rendering

Question

I'm trying to recreate a bibliography rendering style for a document (called "NTC1486").

The structure goes basically like this:

SECOND NAME, First Names. Title of the article. City. Editorial, Year.

The bibliography client provided consist just on a bunch of URL links. I've set up a .bib file that goes like this, no year provided on any entry:

@manual{iso27000,
    title  = "Normatividad y certificaciones aplicadas a SGSI",
    author = "Agustín López Neira and Javier Ruiz Spohr",
    url    = "http://www.iso27000.es/download/doc_iso27000_all.pdf",
    year   = "consultado el 29 de septiembre de 2017"
}

But the documentation for MkIV Bibliography seems confusing to me. I've tried messing with

\usebtxdataset[bibliografia][bibliografia.bib]

\usebtxdefinitions[apa]
\definebtxrendering[bibliografia][apa][specification=apa,sorttype=authoryear,numbering=no,dataset=bibliografia,group=examples]
\setupbtxlist[apa][alternative=paragraph,width=fit,distance=0mm,margin=0mm]
\setupbtx[apa:list:author][separator:names:3={\btxspace y \btxspace},separator:names:4={\btxspace y \btxspace\btxcomma},authorconversion={normal},textstyle={\WORDS},textstyle={\WORDS}]
\setupbtx[apa:list:title][textstyle={\normal}]

\starttext
\placelistofpublications[bibliografia][method=dataset]
\stoptext

But it renders all on lower case. If I set \setupbtxlist[apa][textstyle={\WORDS}], it will set all but the article title on uppercase.

It's something I'm doing wrong? Or it's a bug or something?

Answer 1

You had it right with separator:names. Only a few problems that were ironed out for consistency's sake. You got it wrong with the setupbtxlist though. And so did I, because I couldn't get it done 'quite' right.

Don't vote, I'll just leave it here as a reminder.

See if Aditya can help you out, or perhaps someone over at the mailing list could.

Here is the code:

 \definebtxdataset[template]
 \usebtxdataset[template]
 [bibliografia.bib]


 \loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa]

 \definebtxrendering
 [template]
 [apa]
 [dataset=template, 
    group=examples]

 \setupbtx[apa:list:author]
 [separator:names:4={\btxspace y \btxspace},
 authorconversion={normal}]


 \setupbtxlist[apa]
    [state=start,
    margin=5\emwidth, 
    textstyle={\sc\texdefinition{btx:default:author} \it{\texdefinition{btx:default:title}}} ]


 \starttext

 \startbodymatter
 a citation: \cite[num][template::iso27000::]
 \stopbodymatter

 \startbackmatter
 \startchapter[title=Bibliografía]
 \placebtxrendering[template][method=dataset]
 \stopchapter
 \stopbackmatter



 \stoptext

this is another example. It was copied from http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/tugboat.html.

 \definebtxdataset[template]
 \usebtxdataset[template]
 [tugbib.bib]


 \loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa]

 \definebtxrendering
 [template]
 [apa]
 [dataset=template, 
    group=examples]

 \setupbtx[apa:list:author]
 [separator:names:4={\btxspace y \btxspace},
 authorconversion={normal}]


 \setupbtxlist[apa]
    [state=start,
    margin=5\emwidth, 
    textstyle={\sc\texdefinition{btx:default:author} \it{\texdefinition{btx:default:title}}} ]

 \starttext

 \startbodymatter
 a citation: \cite[num][template::Gregorio:TB26-3-273::]
 \stopbodymatter

 \startbackmatter
 \startchapter[title=Bibliografía]
 \placebtxrendering[template][method=dataset]
 \stopchapter

Answer 2

Currently the APA format for bibliographies lacks the capability to format the author using

\setupbtx
  [apa:list:author]
  [command=\WORD]

Therefore you have to patch up the command btx:apa:author-or-editor yourself. I have also submitted a patch to the maintainers, so maybe it is even fixed in the next beta.

  year   = "consultado el 29 de septiembre de 2017"
}
