Org cite

This provides a mapping from possible org-cite style and sub-style names to different export formats.

Style Names and Mappings

For citeproc-org, the asterisk represents a suggested supported style.

org-cite style	org-cite shortcut	natbib	biblatex	citeproc-org	notes
default (no style)		\citep	\autocite	default
text	t	\citet	\textcite	*
author	a	\citeauthor	\citeauthor	*
title	ti		\citetitle	*
year	y	\citeyear	\citeyear	*
locators	l		\pnotecite	*	page numbers and such only (p23)
nocite	n		\nocite	*

Note that CSL implementations like citeproc-el are based around biblatex autocite-like functionality as default. The CSL style controls how the default cite command is formatted. While this is less-flexible than biblatex, for example, it's simpler for the user, as you use the same base command regardless of whether you are using an author-date, numeric, or note-based style.

Sub-styles

Can be appended to the above styles as a way to handle some of the natbib and biblatex variants, without an explosion of styles. This includes the default style, which would result in [cite//alt:@doe].

• alt (removes citation enclosing punctuation; for example cite:locators/alt -> biblatex \notecite); I think "bare" would be more clear?
• full (rather than shortened, author list; for example \citet*)
• caps (force initial capitalization)

TBD: if this is supported, and if yes, what the model and syntax; two options:

1. a list (in the branch code, currently slash-delimited; so cite/text/caps)
2. a string (cite/caps+full or shortcut of cite/c+f)

Caveats

Not all styles and sub-styles are relevant to all intermediate output formats or final output styles.

• in text/alt the sub-style overrides the style, at least in author-date citation styles
• in year/caps the sub-style has no effect
• etc (todo)
