Hi,

I'm currently working on implementing a new citation rendering for SBL
style. One of the challenges of this style is that it specifies slightly
different rules for citations in the text (which are generally expected to
look like citations made with the "entry" alternative) and entries in the
final list of publications. The two most common differences are
(1) Authors in the in-text citation are printed in normal form (i.e., first
name followed by last name), while authors in the list citation are printed
in inverted for for the first author and normal form for all subsequent
authors.
(2) Most fields in the in-text citation are separated by commas, while the
list citation uses periods in these places.

Is there already a mechanism for handling this for another citation style?
And if not, could anyone offer a suggestion on how I might go about
implementing separate rules for in-text citations and list citations?

Thanks!

Joey
