Adding Bibtex Citation Support? #1580

Open frastlin opened 4 years ago

frastlin commented 4 years ago

Hello, I would like support for bibtex citations. I would like to have a citation list and a set of csl files, as well as the link citation option. I see that there is pandoc support. There could be three options:

  1. You pay for adding bibtex citations, similar to what you do with pandoc, and when the markdown renders in the viewer, you can choose to have it rendered with pandoc.
  2. Have a button that says "render with citations", and when you press that, the viewer will show the rendered markdown with citations.
  3. Just have the bibtex citation work with pandoc exports and no viewer.

https://github.com/benweet/stackedit/issues/20 Talked about this issue, and if pandoc is not an option, then there is a js biblatex csl converter. There is citeproc-js There is citation.js I'm sure there will soon be pandoc using emscrypten, but that hasn't happened yet.

I have a paper requiring citations with a non-technical co-author I need to start today. As it currently stands, it's easier to ask them to write the paper using markdown using Google Docs than it is asking them to use a strange application. If there was this feature, it would make stackedit worth the trouble of training this non-technical person on using stackedit.

Any progress on this?
