Referencing Author and Page not working with Numeric Style #209

Closed W4RH4WK closed 8 years ago

W4RH4WK commented 8 years ago

I am not sure whether this is a problem with pandoc-citeproc or just the .csl files. References of the author's name or book page are omitted when using numeric style references. They work fine with natbib or when a author-year style is used.

Code:

## Citation

Blah Blah [see @wiki:denuvo]

Blah Blah [@rfc5246]

Blah Blah [@schneier2000, pp.33-35]

Something something as defined by @vernam1919.

CSL itself doesn't actually have the category of "in-text" citations, that's a pandoc-citeproc addition.

I can't now recall why we do it this way, not including the author's name. Was there a reason?

Some numerical styles want this format:

Reference 1 says...

Others want:

[1] says...

and maybe some want, as you do:

Author [1] says...

Since CSL styles don't have a category for "in-text" citations, we can't control this in the style, so pandoc has tried to find a reasonable default behavior. Currently, in the most recent version, it's just to print the number (without brackets). At least this allows authors to supply the other material that's needed for their application.

I see. Personally I'd like to have same behavior than natbib. But, as you have already elaborated, this won't fit everybody. Guess this issue can be closed.

Hello, I just came across this issue too and thought that it was something that I was doing. I too expected the same behaviour as natbib. However, as it is the expected behaviour I see that the solution is to go back to my text and add in the author names manually. Thanks for your work on this project!
