[NTG-context] Re: Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)

[Alan Braslau via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Hello,

The APS style is an example of a number-based citation system. As you
are looking for a tag-based citation, it might be better to start with
something like the APA style.

Is there some specification for your short tag-based citation style?
