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.
