Also some tasks then become an order of magnitude harder. I see. So, for example, András currently has the function 'citeproc-org--parse-locator-affix', which takes as input a suffix string. That would need to be adapted to allow this, and it could be a hassle. I agree with Denis that some users will want this, but I am unsure how common the request might be. Here's a thought: How about having suffix plain text, since this is where locators are parsed, and they are particularly important, but allow more on prefixes? Bruce
