Yes, good this is coming.
As a step forward, I rebased wip-cite-new branch with more support for
note numbers handling.
I added three customizable variables:
- org-cite-adjust-note-numbers, which simply allows the user to toggle
punctuation and note number moving (on by default).
- org-cite-note-rules, which defines what rules to apply according to
locale, expressed as a language tag, as in RFC 4646.
- org-cite-punctuation-marks, which lists strings recognized as
punctuation in the process.
`csl' and `basic' processors now both make use of this.
I'd appreciate some feedback, in particular about the docstrings of the
variables above. I focused on the "note numbers" topic instead of
"punctuation" since I found the latter too generic.
Also, there are some points that may need to be discussed:
- I'm not sure about the `org-cite-punctuation-marks' variable being
global, i.e., not locale-specific.
- There is no support for this in LaTeX-derived back-ends, because
I don't know when a citation is going to become a footnote. As
a reminder, there is no "\footcite" command in `biblatex' processor.
OTOH, users might prefer using a more advanced mechanism, e.g.,
csquotes.
- It doesn't do anything special in quote blocks, because I'm still not
sure there is something to do. AFAIU, special casing there only
applies to author-date location, which out of the scope of this code.
WDYT?
