Hi all, for those of you who use emacs to write with citations, you
should use [citar](https://github.com/emacs-citar/citar). and I've
written a package to perform completion at point called (creatively!)
[citar-capf](https://github.com/mclear-tools/citar-capf). I'll be
submitting this to melpa soon, but any constructive feedback is very
much appreciated! It works great with
[corfu](https://github.com/minad/corfu)!

"citar" means "cite" in portuguese so I just wanna say Nice

Indeed :) -- though I think the creator of citar [thought it was
Spanish](https://github.com/emacs-
citar/citar/issues/350#issuecomment-956495832) (maybe it's in both)?

I think it's the same word in a few languages, and Portuguese and
Spanish are awfully similar.

Aside from me liking the relatively concise name, my wife is a native
Spanish speaker, so ...

And here I was thinking that the name was because you liked the
musical instrument sitar!

me, this package has been merged into citar itself now, see
