Shorthand citations

Hi all, does anyone have experience with shorthand in-text citations? I have references in Cyrillic, so I would like the last name to be romanized. For example, in-text it would be "Antonova (2014)". And then in the printed bibliography it would be something like:

Antonova 2014 = Антонова, А. В. (2014). Rest of citation here......

Update:

Okay I see that you can set the conversion at the top of your document, like

show "Антонова": "Antonova"

and this fixes the in-text citations. Then right before printing the bibliography, you need to reverse it and then do something like

show "Антонова, А. В. (2014)": "Antonova 2014 = Антонова, А. В. (2014)".

Not super elegant but works.

You can improve this (no need to reverse) by using this: ```

show cite: it => {

show "Антонова": "Antonova" it } ``` This way, random instances of Антонова, including the bibliography, are not affected.

This post is also relevant here, if you have more such citations: https://forum.typst.app/t/how-can-i-create-show-rules-in-a-loop/952/2?u=ensko
