Reference quotes as you would cite bibliographic sources. Quotes are numbered in the order they are referenced (cited), and a table of quotes is printed at the end.
First, prepare the "quote-file", containing the quotes you wish to cite as a list of quotes and matching quote keys:
\defineQuote{quoteKey}{Blah-blah quote.}
\defineQuote{barbaz}{Quote regarding the subject of bar and baz.}
It is similar in its role the .bib
and .bbl
files together; given the simple syntax, there is no reason for more advanced mechanics (for now at least).
This simple syntax makes it easy to generate, e.g. from a CSV file.
Then, in your document, use \refQuote{quoteKey}
, in the same way that you would use \cite{citationKey}
.
This will insert a number (e.g., 〈1〉
) and a reference to the actual quote in the quote table.
The quote table has to be generated at the end of the document, by calling \quoteography{quotes.tex}
.
As for bibliographies, this package needs two runs in order to build the references.
Only referenced quotes will be included.
Don't forget to import the package: \usepackage{quoteography}
.
The code is commented and interesting modification points, notably regarding appearance, are fairly simple. Given the permissive licensing, we encourage you to tinker with it. If your only changes are appearance-related, please do not submit PRs. However, if you add features (such as support for citation author or other metadata system, quote-file generation capabilities, options to change citation numbering), or of course fix a bug, please submit a PR.
