Does anyone know a way to manipulate the referencing style in wiki?
We were _just_ talking about this in another thread. How would you like it to work? There are a couple of different styles available in HTML and I would _guess_ that it would be fairly easy to modify the <references/> tag (and {{reflist}}) to allow you to select one of these. But that would still be an enumerated list.
Another possibility is one I think might be more interesting, and that's that the ref tags themselves have a "link=" or "tag=" where you could define a specific tag on a per-ref basis. For instance...
<ref name="Smith" link="Smi89"> a reference by Smith from 1989 </ref>
This would be very useful in matching technical documentation referencing style. The only problem is it would require the editors to be careful about putting in a "link=" for _every_ ref, because I'm not sure a fallback would be easy, <references/> uses LI to generate the list and that doesn't take kindly to inserting other things in the middle of the list.
