    Hi,
    Have you considered using the <abbrev> element for citations? See this
    reference for an example:

    Hi,
    I've got my citations in my docbook document and a docbook xml formatted
    bibliography. I can create the bibliography myself in postprocessing (using
    lxml and python), but I'm stumped on how to get author-year style citations.

    I have a book of many chapters, with each chapter having its own
    bibliography. However, I need to process the book as a whole since I need
    htmlhelp and a full index and toc xml files for later processing.

    I wonder if it is too hard to write the xsl to convert the citation to html
    in the author-year style?
    Is that too big of a task for an XSL newbie?

    thanks,
    --Tim Arnold

    Thanks Bob. That's an interesting thought, but I think my project needs a bit more--I have folks writing using multiple citations that should be grouped (like in BibTeX). This get me thinking though, thanks for the info.
