The package allows citations in the German style, which is considered by many to be particularly reader-friendly. The citation provides a small amount of bibliographic information in a footnote on the page where each citation is made. It combines a desire to eliminate unnecessary page-turning with the look-up efficiency afforded by numeric citations.

The package makes use of the (still experimental) package, and is itself also considered experimental; comment is invited.

The authors are Matthew Tylee Atkinson and Iain Phillips. The package is Copyright © 2009 Matthew Tylee Atkinson, Iain Phillips.
