I use (multi)markdown for all my writing in Scrivener, and it uses * for italic and bold formatting. The problem is that I also would like to use {*citation} formatting whereby the enclosing punctuation is removed, but the * is mangled by MMD before it can be parsed by BE. Is there a way to use another symbol instead of *?

No. The only possible substitute I can think of is to use !, which tells Bookends to omit the entire final citation, and enter it yourself in the text:

{!temp cite} Smith et al., 2014

Actually I realise in this case it is easier to use MMD escapes in Scrivener {\*} -- MMD will ignore the * and remove the \ so by the time it gets to the ODT it should works fine for BE. Thanks.
