Anyway, Org cite syntax should: - fully support CSL, - allow changing globally style of cites, - be extensible enough to support « advanced » citation markup (NatBib, Biblatex…), - degrade gracefully when using less advanced markup, - be short enough Here's a proposal for a definitive citation syntax. This syntax implements one default cite command, and specialized (or typed) ones. The default citation command is, as usual: [cite: ... @key1...] with allowed global pre/post strings, and a minus marker to specify SuppressAuthor per cite. I assume that [cite:@key] is common enough, so bare @key is a shorthand for it. Likewise, -@key is a shorthand for [cite:-@key]. Default citations uses the default citation style, which could be defined globally (by a defcustom), locally (keyword, or property), or per ".bib" file. The syntax also provides typed citations: [citeX: ... @key1...] where X stands for any alphanumeric character. A typed citation is meant to locally override default style. Each citation back-ends may interpret "X" type, but if they don't, "citeX" should be treated as "cite". For example, assuming Citeproc treats [cite:@doe] as (Doe, 2020), then [citet:@doe] could be interpreted as AuthorInText by Citeproc, i.e., Doe (2020) but [citep:@doe] could be ignored, and therefore become (Doe, 2020) Of course Biblatex may interpret it differently. Note that the following proposal drops support for [@key1], which I found awkward anyway. WDYT? -- Nicolas Goaziou
