I cannot tell how simple or difficult this becomes but I'd rather concentrate on an integrated `Footnote & Citation Gathering`__. Would you like to cooperate on this? __ http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/dev/todo.html#unimplemented-transforms Meanwhile I tried to turn your example into an MWE and think about a temporary workaround. Thanks Günter At the moment, I find myself often supporting anonymous links to citations like `Isaac and Jass (2011)`__. The reason is that the standard citation reference must occur in the document if we are to extract the references for processing into a citation list (e.g., with bibstuff). __ isaac-2011-jasss_ .. [isaac-2011-jasss]_ __ http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/dev/todo.html#unimplemented-transforms An alternative workaround would be to use aliases like `Milde and Monecke (1989) <ref:the_bib_key_>`__. A reference manager (extended bibstuff, say) would need to scan for `ref: ...` links and insert the citation target. The references section would be inserted by the reference manager References ========== .. [isaac-2011-jasss] fist example reference, 2011. .. _`ref:the_bib_key`: ..
