I did a short project to investigate this problem last year and looked at various open-source software tools, including Anystyle. I was interested because footnotes and even sidenotes are common...

If I may chip in again - my experience is that a little training goes a long way. If you have a distinctive pattern or set of characteristics that is...

Training the citation parser, I have determined that the very scientific amount of "half a dozen or so" is often enough, if the format/pattern to be recognised is distinctive. i.e....

Thanks for the report. I have run into this problem before with this surname-in-capitals citation style (it comes up in some German bibliographies too). After the bits of a citation...

Thanks, I like that idea with easier access to normalizer. The only wrinkle with `skip()` is that it changes that value for an instance of `Normalizer` that is actually shared...
