In the preliminary material it may or may not be so essential to cite much (could relegate to end-of-chapter references). But as the book approaches more recent material, we'll want to make sure that we have a good protocol for citing papers and for doing so inline.

Is there a good way to handle this? Is there any hope of doing LaTeX style citations within the notebook/markdown world?

Found these three options:

  1. http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/z-m-k/6080008/ipyBibtex.ipynb
  2. http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ipython/nbconvert-examples/blob/master/citations/Tutorial.ipynb
  3. https://sylvaindeville.net/2015/07/17/writing-academic-papers-in-plain-text-with-markdown-and-jupyter-notebook/

Seems to come down to what software / packages you want to install and then what coding style you want to use...

Thanks @sebg. So one issue to consider here is balancing rendering beautifully for print vs being buggy if someone clones the notebook and doesn't want to install any additional plugins.

Any ideas about how we can make the refs work but die gracefully with no plugin?
