The lacuna isn't in refer(1), but in the macro packages using it. Any %c, where c is an alphabetic character, can be used to create a field refer(1) understands. It is up to macro writers to work out the the formatting and placement within a refer(1) citation or bibliography entry. -- Peter Schaffter https://www.schaffter.ca
