I like CITE:subtype for customization, where CITE is a member some set, e.g. {cite citep/(cite) fncite citeauthor} or whatever. I like this cause it's ∞ customizable due to the subtype. I also like [·]{:key val}, though less so for citations. It could also be used for "true" *inline* tasks, which would sometimes be quite nice. > Again, I don't know if capitalization is important enough, but the added > complexity in this case is negligible.

[Then again, perhaps Cite could be "captured" automatically if it's after a sentence-end (wait I see you use French spacing...! *sigh*).] >> Aesthetically, this feels a little *too* much like BibLaTeX to me. > > I didn't know BibLaTeX used it at the time I suggested the idea. > I didn't know BibLaTeX was deemed as aesthetically wrong either (why is > it so?). Biblatex is the gold standard. Maybe not in input-aesthetics..., but in terms of amenability, usability and output it surely is. (No, I have nothing to back this up). —Rasmus -- This message is brought to you by the department of redundant departments
