Hi,
(strict inside before) corresponds to French typography.
Regarding French typography.
With this example:
---------------------------------------------------
#+language: fr
#+cite_export: test
"This is a complete sentence."[cite:@key]
"This is an incomplete sentence" [cite:@key].
"This is an incomplete sentence". [cite:@key]
This is a complete sentence. [cite:@key]
This is an incomplete sentence [cite:@key].
----------------------------------------------------
I'm getting:
----------------------------------------------------
"This is a complete sentence[1]."
"This is an incomplete sentence[2]" .
"This is an incomplete sentence"[3].
This is a complete sentence[4].
This is an incomplete sentence[5].
----------------------------------------------------
1, 3, 4, 5 look ok.
2 is a bit odd.
- there's the spurios space before the period.
- I think in that case the footnote mark should be just before the
period, i.e. after the quotation mark. Basically like example 3.
I think the textbook rule regarding French typography is:
Place the footnote mark just before the final punctuation.
Punctuation is placed inside quotation marks if we have a full
quotation, otherwise outside. (OTOH, that seems to be a textbook rule.
As I've said, I haven't seen that in real books.)
I don't know if that is feasible with the current parameters.
