This is the first time i cite '0': <# cite('0') #>\\
Then I cite '1' <# cite('1') #>\\
When I now cite '0' again it should be in shortform: <# cite('0') #>\\
Now I cite '2' a couple of times:\\
<# cite('2') #>\\
<# cite('2') #>\\
<# cite('2') #>\\
<# cite('2') #>\\
<# cite('2') #>\\
When I now cite '0' again it will be back in Longform <# cite('0') #>\\
