. . .
There's no reason we couldn't enhance the citation extension with an
auto-formatter for book/journal/similar references, *but* consider
that to do this, we'd be pulling the format from a message as it is;
so there isn't much benefit over using a template as is done at
present.
Current templates require you to specify all the information to be
used in the templates. The question related to supplying only the
ISBN and having it come up with the rest of the information from its
database, as well as formatting it properly.
