Remark-bibtex is a remark plugin to generate footnoted citations from a bibtex
file. It uses citation-js
to load a specified .bib
file from which citations will be retrieved and added to the markdown file's footnotes section.
Citation keys take the form of (@citationKey)
: where "citationKey" corresponds to a bibtex entry in the provided .bib
file. The citation key will be replaced with a numbered footnote reference corresponding to the bibliography entry in footnotes section.
In order to work, this package has to be chained to the remark-footnotes
package, which adds the necessary markdown footnoting capability.
