crossref seems not to work for Inbook / Incollection

Hello Stefan, hello list,

I have a book lying in front of me, that has been published by an Author. Within this book, there are a number of
articles that have been created by someone else (like with Conference Proceedings, but it is not a Conference...).
Now, I have set this book up as a book and those articles as INBOOK as well as INCOllECTION. In this IN*-entry, a
crossref has been given to the book.
When now \cite{IN*-entry}, jurabib extracts some information (such as the location and the publisher's
organization), but not other needed info. Currently, it gives me the article's author and the article's title, but
not the book's author and title.

I am using a lot of INCOLLECTION entries myself, and I am wondering if it has to do more with your bib-file than with
your jurabib-settings. E.g. I think the book you're talking about probably has an editor, not an author (since the
book contains texts by different authors). I suppose there can be only one 'author' and 'title', namely the one from
the actual text you're referring to. The crossref would provide 'booktitle' and 'editor' fields I imagine. At one
point I had found an information about what he differerence between INCOLLECTION and INBOOK (and others?) is, but I
don't remember where. Have you googled for it? Also, AFAIU, it is important to have a 'booktitle' field supplied along
with the book entry.

here's a snippet of my bibfile, see if it's any use to you:

-------

@INCOLLECTION{Lefort50a,
author = {Claude Lefort},
gender = {sm},
title = {\frqq{}Le t{\'{e}}moignage d'Anton Ciliga\flqq{}},
shorttitle = {Ciliga},
pages = {145--154},
crossref = {Lefort71},
otherinfo = {[1950]}
}

@INCOLLECTION{NancyLacoueLabarthe81a,
author = {Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy},
gender = {pm},
title = {\frqq{}Ouverture\flqq{}},
shorttitle = {Ouverture},
crossref = {NancyLacoueLabarthe81},
pages = {11--28},
otherinfo = {1980-12-08}
}

@BOOK{Lefort71,
author = {Claude Lefort},
gender = {sm},
title = {{\'{E}}l{\'{e}}ments d'une critique de la bureaucratie},
booktitle = {{\'{E}}l{\'{e}}ments d'une critique de la bureaucratie},
shorttitle = {{\'{E}}l{\'{e}}ments \dots},
address = {Paris},
publisher = {Gallimard},
edition = {2},
year = {1979},
otherinfo = {Die Erstauflage von 1971 (bei Droz, Genf) wurde um ein Vorwort und ein Kapitel erweitert}
}

@BOOK{NancyLacoueLabarthe81,
editor = {Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy},
gender = {pm},
title = {Rejouer le politique. travaux du centre de recherches philosophiques sur le politique},
booktitle = {Rejouer le politique. travaux du centre de recherches philosophiques sur le politique},
address = {Paris},
publisher = {Galil{\'{e}}e},
year = {1981},
otherinfo = {}
}

Hope this helps, CU
