Of course, different punctuation marks exist, so characters are at least locale-dependant. But I don't know if the set is entirely determined by the locale or if it also depends on the "style" of the document. >> - There is no support for this in LaTeX-derived back-ends, because >> I don't know when a citation is going to become a footnote.

Actually, that's the opposite. I don't know if it is possible, or even appropriate, to port that feature to `biblatex' and `natbib' processors. So, ATM, if you want it, and target LaTeX/PDF, your only option is `csl'. >> - It doesn't do anything special in quote blocks, because I'm still not >> sure there is something to do.

I understand this, but, AFAICT, this is the output we get already. So I don't think there is anything to do. Thank you for the feedback. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
