Styling Output

    Is there a way to style the output of CiteKit? Or anyway to fix the citation format themelves? I mean,

    Author, “Title” (date),

    is not Chicago notation of any kind.

    And it’s missing a tremendous amount of necessary field that would make a huge difference to the various style guides listed.

    Seriously, this is the best plug-in out there as far as ease of use, but it just lacks a sense of completeness for proper citations.

    Hi Scarletcarnival,

    Thanks for identifying this issue. Version 3.2.1 is now live and adds the additional fields each source type (web page, journal, book, report, etc.) requires – including journal title, volume, issue, pages, publisher, DOI, and more.

    Bibliographies across all six supported styles now properly output those fields where applicable. Additional citation styles are planned for future releases, and a custom citation builder is currently planned for CiteKit Premium.

    Please give the latest version a try and let me know if you run into anything else.

    Thank you. This is really helpful. Granted, as a small publisher, we’re dealing with all kinds of complicated citations with authors and editors and various editions and volumes, so I’m hoping this trend will continue. This really is the best citation/footnote manager in the wild.

    Any way we’ll see the ability to format footnotes? It would be nice to have at least italics and bold capability in those.

    Finally—merely a wish-list kind of feature—it’d be nice to have footnotes and citations together in a single bibliography (like in the Chicago bibliography-note style).

    Thank you again for your rapid response.

    Thanks for your feedback. The goal is ultimately for CiteKit to support publishing workflows across a wider range of citation needs over time.

    And yes, rich text formatting for footnotes is definitely on the roadmap.

    Your idea of combining footnotes and citations into a single bibliography is an interesting one. I’ll have to give it more thought on how that could be implemented within CiteKit.

    Really appreciate the suggestions – and thank you again for the kind words.
