Description

Summary

Investigate support for citation syntax aimed at presentation or handout workflows. iA Presenter supports locator-plus-key references such as [p. 23][#Doe:2006].

Why

  • This is distinct from ordinary links and footnotes.
  • It could unlock a useful handout/export story, but it likely needs metadata and rendering policy work beyond the core parser.

Scope

  • Decide whether citation parsing belongs in core ferromark, presentation mode only, or a higher-level preprocessor.
  • Specify accepted key grammar and locator grammar.
  • Decide output behavior: plain link, semantic citation span, footnote, bibliography collection, or deferred metadata only.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A minimal citation grammar is written down.
  • Output expectations are defined for HTML and presentation use.
  • Non-goals are explicit if bibliography formatting is deferred.
