Re: [docbook] Multiple reference citations

["Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex" <gerrit.imsieke@le-tex.de>]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the suggestion. The âcitation with mixed biblioref contentâ 
is a bit too loose for our purposes IMHO. Of course we could use a role 
attribute on citation to tell a renderer that only the contained 
biblioref/@linkends should be collected in order to fill a 
\cite{ref1,ref2,ref3} macro in LaTeX, and all other text should be 
ignored in the citation element.

We went for âallow @linkends everywhere where @linkend is allowedâ in 
our customization [1].
