Not all formats support every citation action. Inline citations and multi-cite are not available for LaTeX and Multi-Markdown, which use a
page_before_citekey mode that places page numbers before the citekey (e.g. \autocite[p. 42]{Grieser2020}). Page numbers are not meaningful for wikilinks, tags, and bare citekeys.Format Examples
Adding a New Format
If there is a citation syntax you need that is not listed above, you are welcome to open a Feature Request or submit a pull request to the file that defines the citation formats.Due to a technical restriction in how Alfred stores workflow configuration variables, you may need to re-select your citation style once after updating the workflow to a new version.
