0 Parts I like:
1) a parenthetical citation for a single work with no prefix and suffix may be written by just surrounding the key with brackets, like: [@Doe99]. 2) an in-text citation for a single work with no prefix and suffix may be written as a /bare/ key, without brackets, like: @Doe99. I recently cracked up something similar for a paper we are working on, and I think it's nice. I have yet to get the verdict from my coauthor, though. Parts that I don't care for: [cite: whatever (@Doe99) whatever] Not intuitive to me, but I could get used to it. Parts I hate: The flag is either `@' or `&'. `@' [...] The optional hyphen (`-') Too many weird symbols that I won't be able to remember, much less explain to somebody else. `%%( ... )'. Just too odd. Extensibilty should not be delegated to some weird construct outside of the element in question. —Rasmus -- A page of history is worth a volume of logic
