Re: Question about omitting brackets in citation format

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

The feature works fine for me, so I'm not sure what is going
on in your case.  One possibility is that this is just the
way your style formats page numbers (but that's unlikely).

If you create a zip with everything needed to reproduce this
(input file, csl, bibliography, and exact command used) then
we can take a look.
