Spike: Look into `.csl` in new PDF workflow #425

Open wrynearson opened 1 year ago

@kamicut found a .csl file for APT references: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/american-geophysical-union.csl

We have a similar file already in our workflow for our previous $\LaTeX$-based architecture. Can we use this in our new Document-PDF architecture?

There are 2 separate things here, and the csl and cls file formats can be potentially confusing:

  1. Using citation.js in the document preview to actually have rules for the AGU citation style when processing the references instead of hardcoding the rules ourselves in javascript. I couldn’t figure out how to use the AGU xml file though: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/american-geophysical-union.csl although this ticket https://github.com/citation-js/citation-js/issues/158 has some answers
  2. The CLS in latex https://github.com/NASA-IMPACT/nasa-apt/blob/861ad7fe70cb5299c1ee43615cf8482d69a67747/app/pdf/agujournal2019.cls seems like a lot to have to translate into javascript, and ideally we could just re-use it in our pipeline for the journal PDF

Adding here that for (1) here's an example runkit of using the CSL file from above to format the bibliography automatically https://runkit.com/kamicut/citation-agu-example
