Ugh (sound of sinking in the stomach).
OK, fair enough. I did just come across this reading through the
documentation for the new op cit. BibTeX package.
The only way I can imagine to implement this -- and how it is done in
op cite -- is to allow a user to include a "hereafter" tag on the first
citation, and then to have a flag in CSL to have subsequent citations
use that (e.g. you have a choice of one or the other).
The problem is:
1) the current citation support planned for 1.2 has no support for this
coding
2) MS's new citation support has no support for it (as near as I can
tell, and assuming we care about interoperability)
It also means the citation GUI becomes more complex (every feature of
this sort needs to a new GUI option).
So how important is this feature, recognizing that we already account
for automatically-footnoted citations, and ibid, as well as
first/subsequent forms? Would you not have been able to do your thesis
without it?
