Footnotes and References #13

Closed Hipomenes closed 6 years ago

Hipomenes commented 6 years ago

Hello there, I wonder if this project is still maintained... I just installed jekyll-pandoc successfully, using Pandoc 2.1 and modifying the _config.yam accordingly. I then build the site all all seems fine, but footnotes nor citepro references are not rendering at all in html.

What do you think might be the problem?

Best! d

Have you set up the bibtex source address correctly in your configure file? Like

markdown: Pandoc
pandoc:
  extensions:
    - bibliography: bibliography.bib

Hi! Yes, I have the .bib path in place (not in a local folder, though). The funny thing is that the footnotes in standard Pandoc markdown are not working either.

I figured out the problem. I was trying to run the jekyll-pandoc from Github Pages, and I just realized they don't support the use of plugins. I tried running a local server and it works.

Good to hear you have figured it out! Two things I can suggest:

  1. Compile the site in your local machine and then commit the generated files to the gh-pages branch on Github.

  2. Use Travic-CI to compile the site for you with plugin supports, which is what I do for my site.

Bests,

Qi

Thanks so much for the tips! That's exactly what I needed!

One last thing. I did find that citepro references are still not rendering, even though I have the right path in the _config file. Should I keep a .bib file locally? Or what could be the issue?

i2000s commented 6 years ago

Your .bib file should be in the directory you defined. The rendered static site should have the html included in your pages, and hence don't require a local file there. I don't know if this is the solution, but make sure you have both pandoc and pandoc-citeproc installed on your system. On Ubuntu, for example, you might want to try

sudo apt-get install pandoc pandoc-citeproc

Before 2014, pandoc-citeproc is not a separated package, but now it's required.

If this is no the issue, maybe others can step in and help you in solving the problem.

When using Pandoc locally, I've never invoked pandoc-citeproc, I just specify a .bib and csl file. Should it be different here?

i2000s commented 6 years ago

I think they should always be the same. I am not sure what's happening in your case...

Issue fix. The problem was with indentation in extensions, ups!
