Hi all,

I agree completely. For what it’s worth, using pandoc citations now
will work right now if you output to markdown and then parse in
pandoc. e.g.

  [see @doe:2006article, p. 10]

will work.

I wrote a parser for pandoc citations (that assumes you start with a
citation string, that is, it doesn’t work unless you have extracted
the citation string from the document):

  https://bitbucket.org/egh/zot4rst/src/master/xciterst/parser.py

but it doesn’t seem that org-element.el uses a grammar, so I’m not
sure how much that would help. There is also, of course, the pandoc
parser.

best, Erik
