@vindex reftex-cite-format
The standard LaTeX macro @code{\cite} works well with numeric or simple
key citations.  To deal with the more complex task of author-year
citations as used in many natural sciences, a variety of packages has
been developed which define derived forms of the @code{\cite} macro.
@b{Ref@TeX{}} can be configured to produce these citation macros as well by
setting the variable @code{reftex-cite-format}.  For the most commonly
used packages (@code{natbib}, @code{harvard}, @code{chicago}) this may
be done from the menu, under @code{Ref->Citation Styles}.  Since there
are usually several macros to create the citations, executing
@code{reftex-citation} (@kbd{C-c [}) starts by prompting for the correct
macro.  For the Natbib style, this looks like this:

@example
SELECT A CITATION FORMAT

[^M]   \cite@{%l@}

@b{Ref@TeX{}} distribution from the @value{MAINTAINERSITE}.  Note that
the Emacs 19 version supports many but not all features described in
this manual.

Thanks to the people on the Net who have used @b{Ref@TeX{}} and helped
developing it with their reports.  In particular thanks to @i{Fran
Burstall, Alastair Burt, Lars Clausen, Soren Dayton, Stephen Eglen,

The @code{view-crossref} feature was inspired by @i{Peter Galbraith's}
