Templating engine
There is also a templating engine for replacing citations in your text. For example, writing [#1] in your text will replace it with the reference with the corresponding id 1.
These are the available templates:
[#1]->(Belleflamme, Lambert & Schwienbacher, 2014)[#1!]->Belleflamme, Lambert and Schwienbacher (2014)[#1&2]->(Belleflamme, Lambert & Schwienbacher, 2014; Paschen, 2017)[#1&2!]->Belleflamme, Lambert & Schwienbacher, 2014 and Paschen, 2017
For more information on the template engine, go to its dedicated page.
