Hello, I know a lot has been written on this mailing list about refer and its mom integration. However, I still don't quite get it. Currently I'm writing my bachelor thesis in groff -mom. It was relatively easy to imitate the LaTex template they were providing, including Computer Modern fonts and so on but I'm still struggling with refer. I would like to have inline references in an abbreviated form (like [AUTHORYEAR]) and a bibliography with all references automatically collected.
As I understand mom's refer support and as I was able to verify it, mom provides the following possibilities: * footnote references * endnote references * inline references * bibliographies When I use endnote references, mom will merely insert a small superscript number into the running text. When I use inline references my references are put inline with no apparent way of customizing the inline citation style. When I use a .BIBLIOGRAPHY and refer's "accumulate" option, my references are neatly accumulated into the bibliography but no longer occur inline, neither with .REF, nor with .REF[. I guess this has something to do with refer no longer emitting the start/end reference macros and string definitions for mom to format. Any pointers on how to achieve what I want? Would I be able to at least get automatically formatted inline references in the [AUTHORYEAR] style using refer's label feature with a *manually* populated bibliography? I guess I would have to write custom .[- and .][ macros and bypass mom's .REF macros altogether. Best regards, Robin
