Hi all, I agree completely. For what it’s worth, using pandoc citations now will work right now if you output to markdown and then parse in pandoc. e.g. [see @doe:2006article, p. 10] will work. I wrote a parser for pandoc citations (that assumes you start with a citation string, that is, it doesn’t work unless you have extracted the citation string from the document): https://bitbucket.org/egh/zot4rst/src/master/xciterst/parser.py but it doesn’t seem that org-element.el uses a grammar, so I’m not sure how much that would help. There is also, of course, the pandoc parser. best, Erik -- Sent from my free software system <http://fsf.org/>.
