IIUC, your immediate question has to do with making an in-text citation look right in different output formats. This can be accomplished with the extended link syntax. A basic setup that only includes LaTeX export can be found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-17-2 For the other export formats you'll need to add (eq format 'html) ..., etc. Of course, this just handles the in-text part for formats other than LaTeX. LaTeX uses bibtex or biblatex to compile the list of references. I don't know how to accomplish this in ODT. For html, I export from Org-mode to LaTeX, then use tex4ht to convert to html. This leverages the bibtex capabilities and yields nicely formatted bibliographies in html. hth, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
