Hi everyone, that’s all really interesting stuff here. Would it make sense to collect ideas for additional citation support somewhere? Best, Denis Von: pandoc-discuss-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org Im Auftrag von jcr Gesendet: Mittwoch, 1.

I'll have to look into it the next time I want to do something special with citations. I have twice wanted to be able to distinguish individual citations in `Cite`'s inlines. Once was for the purpose of spell checking. When I cite sources in multiple languages, I need multi-lingual spell checking. So, in addition to the document that I will submit, I make ODT with the languages tagged so that I can spell check in LibreOffice. To spell check the citations, they need to be appropriately tagged. Because each bibliography entry has an ID derived from its bibliography key, I can identify them and give them an appropriate `lang` attribute. But in footnotes, it's not clear where one citation ends and the next begins, so I can't add a lang attribute in general. Even if there's just one citation, it could have a prefix or suffix in the document language. For this, perhaps I could use `pandoc.utils.references`, tag the principal parts of the citation with the reference's language, and save the resulting references in the `Pandoc` element for citeproc. The second application was for a journal that uses idem instead of repeating author names. When I decided that an automatic solution was not practical, I solved the problem manually for the few citations that needed idem. For this, I would need too be able to identify not only individual citations, but also the author part of the citation. However, knowing my CSL style, I could assume that the author is the first element in the citation proper (after the prefix), or the series of elements that ends with `SmallCaps`.

It gives you access to the structured reference entries. Theoretically one could write a custom citation handler by using that function and filtering `Cite` elements; it might or might not be worth the effort in your case.
