In that case, how would you control the placement of the incremental elements? Would the idea be for each one to encapsulate an entire citation, separately constructed in the respective macros? (I might be missing something but) if so, it seems like the style code might be kind of tricky to maintain. > > On Apr 18, 2013, at 1:33 PM, Frank Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 6:48 PM, andrea rossato <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> Frank Bennett <[email protected]> writes: >>> >>>> I've implemented incremental application of disambiguate="true" in >>>> citeproc-js (release 1.0.451).
