Re: [O] Citation syntax: a revised proposal

[Richard Lawrence]

...and of course, immediately sending, I noticed a small problem in the
grammar:

In both of these clauses, `INDIVIDUAL-REFERENCE is' should be
`INDIVIDUAL-REFERENCE contains', so that they read:

  - A PARENTHETICAL-CITATION is either a SIMPLE-PARENTHETICAL or a
    CITATION-LIST whose first INDIVIDUAL-REFERENCE contains a
    PARENTHESIZED-KEY
  - An IN-TEXT-CITATION is either a SIMPLE-IN-TEXT, or a
    CITATION-LIST whose first INDIVIDUAL-REFERENCE contains a BARE-KEY.
    
Also, I wanted to mention that people may want to start by reading the
examples in the proposal, which are under the heading ``Examples of main
citation syntax''.  (There are further, unofficial examples under the
heading ``Syntax for extensions''.)

Best,
Richard
