Suppress author

Prefix the cite key with - to suppress the author name (useful when the author is already mentioned in the text):
This renders as: Smith (2023, p. 42) instead of Smith (Smith, 2023, p. 42).

Author only (narrative mode)

Append ! to the cite key to show only the author name:
This renders as: Smith showed that the effect is significant (Smith, 2023, p. 42).

Citations work inside bold, italic, and other formatting marks:
