Re: Using user-defined "numbering"/abbrevs in citations for docbook

Hi Olivier,

your best bet would be to use the citation key as the custom abbreviation. This
of course may require some thoughts before you add the data, but if a string
composed of the last name and the publication year is sufficient, RefDB should
have done the right thing anyway.

I take from the citestylex documentation that RefDB currently does not allow to
insert the citation key anywhere in the bibliographic output. Apparently no one
asked for this yet, and I haven't thought of it either. Could you please add a
feature request on the RefDB SourceForge project page to remind me?

regards,
Markus
