Hi,
The citation reference box is the gray box in the editing screen that holds the
reference label(s). I have numerous references and some of these are nearly
half a line long and are clouding up my screen with too much gray space. How do
I change the length of the citation reference box as it appears in my screen?
Ideally, I would be able to reduce it to just a few character lengths.
Do you mean the Insert>Citation box or the Insert>Cross-Reference box?
If the former, it should be limited to 45 characters. If the latter, I
don't think we do limit it, but maybe we should. In any event, this can
only be done by editing the code.
Attached is a patch (for trunk) that would limit the label to 25
characters and display the whole thing as a tooltip.
