Description Eugene Espinoza 2025-08-14 01:34:52 UTC
Currently, Koha’s built-in "Cite" feature provides static citation outputs (APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA, etc.) without any option to customize which styles appear, the formatting rules applied, or the markup for individual citation components (author, title, date, etc.). There is no system preference to control this behavior, so libraries cannot adjust the citations to meet their local standards or style requirements.

Requested Features:

- Enable/disable specific citation styles (APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA, etc.) shown in the “Cite” menu.

- Allow customization of output formatting (e.g., italics for titles, full author names, punctuation rules).

- Provide markup for individual citation parts (author, title, date, etc.) for CSS styling or integration with other tools.
