Consecutive citation numbering across multiple .qmd #4160

Open faaa6 opened 1 year ago

faaa6 commented 1 year ago

Hey, I'm trying to include numbered citations (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/springer-basic-brackets-no-et-al.csl) into my Quarto project, which includes multiple .qmd documents. I encounter the problem that with this style, the numbering is not consecutive across all documents. Each document starts with 1 which does not match the numbering in the bibliography. Is there a way to make the numbering consecutive across the whole document? F

This does not occur when knitting to .pdf

Can you clarify what type of project you're seeing this in? Even better could you provide a simple reproducible case to make it easier for us to see the issue?

faaa6 commented 1 year ago

It is a quarto html book based on the workflow from here https://quarto.org/docs/books/ A reproducible example can be found here https://gitup.uni-potsdam.de/farntz/repo (please let me know if you can access this link)

Ok I can confirm this issue. The problem has to do with how we generate the bibliography across a multi page format like HTML (we basically render each page and then create a merged bibliography). This results in the independent / incorrect numbering that you're seeing. (PDFs, conversely, provide a single output, so they are merged in a single document that results in the proper numbering).

I'll have to give some thought to how we improve / support this without completely overhauling the way we render HTML books....

(Note to self - consider injecting the previous chapters cites into the before body of the document and they removing them in post processing (to ensure that the order of cites is correct). Perhaps can piggy back on the new cites output from book project filters.

Thank you for confirming this issue, and your insights. Can you give an estimation when this could be fixed? Else I'd find another solution (such as not using numbers), since I have an upcoming deadline

Of course - unfortunately, I don't have a great estimate for when this will get done. I'd like to get it done within the next 4 weeks or so, but it's likely that it will end up in our next release (1.4 instead of 1.3). That would put it several months away.

I'm pushing to 1.4, I just didn't get to it in time and it's a pretty significant change.

Any update on this issue at all?
