Fwiw, it seems to me that there might be some confusion here arising
from two separate usages of the word 'style':
(a) 'style' to mean "writing style", i.e. which words are used,
how they're put together, etc. For example, "Plain English".
(b) 'style' to mean "presentation style", i.e. how words, symbols,
glyphs etc. are presented visually or (for vision-impaired people)
aurally. For example, the sort of things specified by Cascading
Style Sheets.
Thus, the citation 'style' can be independent of the presentation
style used for that citation style.
For examle, one might have a citation style like:
[Smith 2001]
which in certain contexts is expected to have a presentation style
of 'bolded'.
So what i understand Vaidheeswaran to be asking is: Please don't
code things such that presentation style is /necessarily/ carried
along with citation style. Make it so that exporting a document
faithfully reproduces the citation style in the target format, but
don't /force/ the presentation style used in the source format for
citation style to be the presentation style used in the
destination format.
Vaidheeswaran, is that correct?
Alexis.
