Pandoc's citeproc doesn't distinguish between “author in text” citations and “normal” citations if a numeric CSL style is used. Both, `[@smith]` and `@smith` result in something like “[42]” in such cases.
However, @mxp wrote a Lua filter to work around this. The filter turns `as explained by @smith` into “as explained by Smith [42]”. Switching citation styles becomes nearly effortless this way. -

Reading the #CSL #CitationStyleLanguage specification, my understanding is that non-dropping particles should never be dropped from short names, regardless of the value of demote-non-dropping-particle. So, in an author-year citation, a name like “Joris van Zundert” should always appear as “van Zundert,” right? However, #Pandoc always produces “Zundert.” CSL allows you to cite “van Zundert” and have him sorted under Z—but this doesn’t seem to be possible with Pandoc. Am I missing something?

I created #CSL #CitationStyleLanguage in the early 2000s, because what I was looking for didn't exist. In fact, I wrote the prototype #XSLT implementation to format my first book manuscript, using #DocBook!
Since then, it's been wildly successful, but the technology world has evolved a lot since, and CSL has accrued almost 20 years of technical debt.
So I've been experimenting lately with what an alternative, designed today, might look like.
