textual citations

[denismaier]

@ebouna and I realized today that textual citations aren't supported yet. Any chance they'll be added soon? Anything I can do to help here?

? they are supported... Maybe you are referring to support by the CSL processor in org-cite? In that case you can find a "bleeding edge", patched drop-in replacement oc-csl.el at https://github.com/andras-simonyi/oc-csl-ns which supports all newly added citeproc-el functionality, among them textual citations. The plan is to send the accumulated patches to the Org mailing list for inclusion, but I'm still waiting for my signed FSF copyright assignment papers to arrive.

ELISP> (org-cite-supported-styles '(csl))
((("author" "a")
  ("caps-full" "cf")
  ("caps" "c")
  ("full" "f"))
 (("noauthor" "na")
  ("bare-caps" "bc")
  ("caps" "c")
  ("bare" "b"))
 (("year" "y")
  ("bare" "b"))
 (("text" "t")
  ("caps-full" "cf")
  ("full" "f")
  ("caps" "c"))
 (("nil")
  ("bare-caps" "bc")
  ("caps" "c")
  ("bare" "b")))

BTW, I just updated bibtex-actions to call that function. So as soon as the oc-csl updates are merged, the style UI will reflect that change.

Now just need to get annotation previews working again.

BTW, not sure if you all have any thoughts on this, but the screenshot reflects my experiments with offering hints to users to help them understand the style system.

So I highlight the main styles, for example, and de-emphasize the variant ones.

In the absence of objections I'm going to close this soon. BTW, I've activated the "Discussions" feature, if you wish to continue, well, the discussion :-).
