Hi, adding one footnote to this issue.
As one should expect, with Jupyter Books if I store my bibliography in a .bib
file but insert the citations with the citation-manager
, these won't be inserted because Jupyter Book does not recognize the format.
The converse, however, is also true: if I insert the bibliography with the citation-manager
at the end of a chapter with alt - B
and then build the book, no references will be added. Perhaps this is because the <div class="csl-entry"> ... </div>
tags cannot be parsed?
Also, how do you see this being implemented? I would love to help out on this one, because of the crazy synergy. Could the citation manager retrieve citations from a .bib
file? Is this just a matter of citation keys not matching? Could the metadata in the ipynb notebook be rewritten in a format that could be used in the md:myst notebook to build a book?

...tags cannot be parsed?
I can confirm removing the <div>...</div>
tags solves the issue. To be fair, I removed all <div>
, <i>
and comment <!--...--!>
tags (the italic was not parsed). A script that removes these should be easily implemented, even simply using sed
. Then, to have the reference list at the end of the book I simply cut-pasted these into a references.md
file that I added as the last chapter, here.
I believe the better place to put this should be closer to jupytext
, shouldn't it? This is easier said than done, I guess... But as far as to make sure that people using jupytext
/jupyter book
and the citation-manager
, this seems a viable short-term solution.
The real deal of this thing should be to have the citation-manager
use the same reference keys that appear in the .bib
file, so that the bibliography is automatically generated like this. Then, it should just be a matter of replacing the html tags with the MyST syntax.
counterpoint: if the div tag is a problem, shouldn't it be fixed in nbconvert/jupyter book?
that makes a lot of sense xD I am new to these things, would you ping some maintainer of jupyterbook or shall I open the issue there?
