Maybe what you want is \cite, not \render-cite; \render-cite is more
related about writing
macros to change the way that references are displayed, I think.

I think the manual covers this in help->manual->automatic generated content.

Note that there are two ways to do this: Using BibTeX or using TeXmacs
without BibTeX, since now TeXmacs can do it without BibTeX, by using
the tm-alpha instead of alpha, etc. when you insert your bibliography.
