Dear All,
there is a rather peculiar set of numeric citation styles (perhaps
most famously, that of Nature's) which sets citation numbers in
superscript -- similarly to footnote numbers, these citations should
not have any space between them and the previous word. The attached
patch checks during export whether a citation is produced by a CSL
style belonging to this category and removes any leading space
present.
Best wishes,
András
