Why? With one λ the sky is the limit! It can call whatever crazy functions that do whatever crazy things you can imagine. IOW: if you are old enough to color your citations pink in latex you are also old enough to write a macro that adds [cite:COLOR] or [cite:subtype-color] for all colors in the rainbow... —Rasmus -- Me gusta la noche, me gustas tú
