Hello all,
I see some people on the mailing list use a cool citation style that
uses commas and backquotes to make a "frame" around citations. It
looks like this:
,----
| cited text goes here
| blah blah blah
`----
How do you do that? I've been looking into Supercite, and I could see
how you might be able to set the right variables to get Supercite to
do this, but I was curious if this is "the right way" to get that
effect, or if there's some other functionality you use. Thanks!
