Hi all. I´m a relative newbie in ConTEXt but have used LaTEX for a couple of years. I recently decided to write me master's thesis in ConTEXt and so far it has been sweet... I was looking into the Bib module and there is only one thing that I can't find in the documentation. What are parameters in the \author field? This is what I found in the documentation: \author[#1]{#2}[#3]{#4}{#5} AUTHOR The author of a standalone publication, like a monograph. What do #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 stand for? If we look at the doc we get: \author[]{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater} So we get: #2 = First name. #3 = Initial of first name? Middle name? #5 = Last name I have no idea what to do with #1 and #4. Thanks in advance... Best regards/Kær kveðja, Guðmundur J. Kristjánsson gjk@vitum.net | gjk@hi.is | Tel. +354-893-4444.
Hi. Thanks alot. So #3 was middle name? If I´m correct then the parameters are: #1: Junior (as in Jr. (child with same name as father)?). #2: First name. #3: Middle name? #4: von (can this also be used as another middle name?). #5: Last name. Best regards/Kær kveðja, Guðmundur J. Kristjánsson gjk@vitum.net | gjk@hi.is | Tel. +354-893-4444.
#1 = junior, #4 = von
Cheers, taco

Yes, that is the intent.
#2: First name. #3: Middle name?
It officially stands for "inits", but what it means is more or less up to the style.
#4: von (can this also be used as another middle name?).
In some styles, yes. In others not. An author with a von part can be typeset as both von Munchhausen Munchhausen, von this is a matter of style (as are the variious choices for initials, middle name and first name).
#5: Last name.
Yes. Cheers, Taco
