Research direction
Start at the document status page and locate the rendering for the current Formats line, including the bibtex and bibxml buttons. Move those buttons to a separate “Cite this document” line and verify that document status pages show the two categories distinctly.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
On document status pages the bibtex and bibxml buttons currently sit on the Formats line, but they are citation information, not document formats. Move them onto a new "Cite this document" line.
Task
- Split bibtex/bibxml off the Formats line into a new "Cite this document" line on document status pages.
