I must use a predefined style which does not use Natbib nor Biblatex.
Now I have some other external Latex code which has used Natbib, and contains commands like \citep and \citet. I guess I can simply remap \citep to the standard \cite, right?
However, how would I implement sth like \citet?
(This question is very related, however it uses Biblatex.)
\citet-style) citations, and/or do the author guidelines say anything about that? If it is not supported by the code, and Natbib and BibLaTeX are explicitly prohibited, then most likely the use of textual citations is also not allowed for the paper/thesis/... that you are submitting. Vice versa if it is allowed then presumably there will be some explanation or a code example on how to achieve such citations. In case it is allowed but just not implemented then you could always copy the relevant code from thenatbibsource and add that to your own – Marijn Jun 16 '20 at 11:27\citetas you normally would without explicitly including the package. – Marijn Jun 16 '20 at 11:27natbibdoes some fiendishly clever things to get\citetto work as it does. (Well, it also does that to get\citepto work, but the point is that this fiendishly clever work is required to support two citation commands with slightly different output.) So if you wanted to use\citepand\citetwith (roughly) their normal behaviour, you'd essentially have to copy all the thingsnatbibdoes behind the scenes. ... – moewe Jun 16 '20 at 15:10natbib(I'm guessing a fixed publisher/journal template) that same reason may also make it at least highly undesirable to add large blocks of code to the preamble. Last but not least it should be noted that\citetsupport fornatbibalso depends on the.bst/BibTeX style you used. So if you have to use a certain.bstfile that is notnatbib-compatible the necessary data is probably not going to be available at all. – moewe Jun 16 '20 at 15:13
