Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply. I believe there is some discussion of this here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pandoc-discuss/QcAnk7hsZD8/e9MYHu0BA5IJ and probably elsewhere on the pandoc-discuss list if you search the archives. It’s not supported in existing citeproc implementations, but I think it would be possible to support something like this. On the other hand, this is also something that is easily done by hand, so I don’t know if it’s worth the trouble. best, Erik -- Sent from my free software system <http://fsf.org/>.
