Hi Hans and Alan, the argument of the command key for the \setupbtx command is shown twice in the running text. \usebtxdataset[mkiv-publications.bib] \setupbtx[command=\groupedcommand{<}{>}] \starttext \cite[article] \placelistofpublications \stoptext A possible fix for this is to change the name of one instance (publ-ini.mkiv) where the key is used from command to textcommand. \def\publ_cite_handle_variant_indeed[#1]%   {\letbtxparameter\c!alternative\currentbtxcitealternative    \edef\currentbtxreference{#1}%    \saverunningstyleandcolor    \usebtxstyleandcolor\c!style\c!color    \uselanguageparameter\btxdatasetparameter % new    \btxparameter\c!left -  \btxparameter\c!command{\dobtxcitevariantblob}% {\publ_cite_handle_variant_blob}% +  \btxparameter\c!textcommand{\dobtxcitevariantblob}% {\publ_cite_handle_variant_blob}%    \btxparameter\c!right    \endgroup} Wolfgang
