I'm not really that familiar with regular expressions (beyond the basics), nor with the specifics of their implementation in XSLT 2.0. How easy is it to have regexp code that can take this:
<para>Acccording to Doe <citation><biblioref linkend="doe99"/></citation> ...</para>
.... and to see that while standard processing code would yield this:
<p>According to Doe (Doe, 1999) ...</p>
.... the author name is preceding the citation, such that the output should be:
<p>According to Doe (1999) ...</p>
?
Put differently, would there be a good way to look at the text immediately preceding a citation (probably in the entire sentence preceding it) to see if the author is noted there?
I should add that historically (in bibtex for example), the author would manually code the citation to indicate how it should be rendered. I'm just wondering if that's really necessary, and perhaps simply awkward (for example, in a GUI app, it means requiring some sort of interface for the author to indicate how it ought to be rendered, while using the approach I'm suggesting above would be much simpler).
