Codimd: Support citation

Created on 8 Apr 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: hackmdio/codimd

Hack.md looks fantastic but as a researcher I'm missing support for citations - being able to reference other texts using a bibliographic database such as BibTeX (a plaintext file format).

Pandoc (see #48) has great support for citations in markdown, for example: http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#citations

Hacktoberfest feature

Please implement this feature compatible to Pandoc (e.g. additional YAML field bibliography to link to a bibliography file and @citekey syntax) instead of a custom solution.

this would be really fantastic, especially if typing [@] brings up auto-complete for the BibTeX reference IDs

As this is so much wanted, I was about to implement it. But as it turns out, I can't wrap my head about the libraries about this topic.

If someone wants to go for it, this library seems promising: https://citation.js.org/api/tutorial-getting_started.html
