Re: LaTeX footnote citations parentheses

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

I guess what you want is for an autocite in a footnote not to
include the surrounding parentheses.

There's actually no CSL setting that says "omit parentheses."
We can have a normal citation (which may have parentheses if
that's what the style dictates) or an author-in-text citation
(which will typically have parentheses around everything but
the author name).

So we may not be able to do better here, given the impedance
mismatch between biblatex and CSL...
