Yes, there's been one for over a year. It doesn't apply cleanly to trunk, however, so it will have to be manually applied.
Oh excellent. What is the basic syntax?
<ref group="foo">...</ref> <ref group="bar">...</ref> <ref group="foo">...</ref>
<references group="foo" /> <references group="bar" />
This would be to implement the "hidden cite", removing the "b"?
Yes.
Well I would argue for somewhat more "obvious" syntax. backlink="none" strikes me as a bit opaque.
What would you recommend?
What do you mean, using the text within the tags? Like <ref name="foo">Text to append</ref>? That strikes me as inevitably ambiguous, unless order becomes important again.
Yes, that was the suggestion, and the problem with it. I was wondering if someone had solved the problem and I simply missed the message.
It's impossible, unless I'm really missing something. If the only two refs with name "name" in a document are
<ref name="name">Foo</ref> <ref name="name">Bar</ref>
would the ref text be FooBar or BarFoo? Which is the base and which is appended? You presumably don't want to make order important again.
