inline citation not respecting style about citeproc HOT 6 CLOSED

This definitely looks like a bug. I note that adding the font-style attribute to the name element rather than names seems to produce the desired italics. But the issue with the ordering is still there, and font-style should work in either place I think.

@jgm could you elaborate how you fixed it?

My goal is to use small caps for the authors:

  <macro name="author">
    <names variable="author">
      <name delimiter=" / " delimiter-precedes-last="never" initialize-with="." name-as-sort-order="all" font-variant="small-caps"/>
      <label form="short" prefix=" (" suffix=")"/>
      <substitute>
        <names variable="editor author"/>
        <group>
          <text term="anonymous" form="short"/>
        </group>
      </substitute>
    </names>
  </macro>
  <macro name="author-short">
    <names variable="author" font-weight="normal" delimiter=";">
      <name delimiter=" / " delimiter-precedes-last="never" initialize-with="." name-as-sort-order="all" font-variant="small-caps" />
      <substitute>
        <names variable="editor author"/>
        <group delimiter=": ">
          <text term="anonymous" form="short"/>
          <text variable="title"/>
        </group>
      </substitute>
    </names>
  </macro>

@JostBrand this issue is not fixed -- as you can see, it still has the Open status.

@JostBrand I moved the font-style attribute from the names element to the child name element, and that worked with the original CSL.

@TeresaM12 - the issue with the ordering is due to the fact that you use an author-in-text citation in your note: that forces the author out front. If you do

amet^[[@sternSternBecker2019b].]

with a normal citation in the note, you'll get what you expect. Better yet, since this is a note style, let pandoc insert the note automatically (and then you can easily switch to a non-note style if you like):

amet [@sternSternBecker2019b],

I'm still not clear why the font style isn't being applied, but we can cross off the order issue.

from citeproc.

In fact, the font issue has the same cause.
When you use an author-in-text form of citation (@foo as opposed to [@foo]), the author's name will be put first. Here we just extract the name, without formatting. I will look into whether we can preserve formatting, but in this case you probably just want to use the fix suggested above.
