Bibliography

[dpo]

This is to say that I'm very happy with Qute as I'm using it for a long-ish document containing both inline and display math. What I seem to be missing at this point is a way to cite references in my text. As in my previous comment, Pandoc is able to do that. If I may suggest, I would say that Issue #47 should have precedence for those of us who are interested in writing academic-style documents. Of course I'm suggesting this without really knowing what challenges are at play behind the scenes, but with much enthusiasm for Qute.

I am glad you share my enthusiasm for Qute. :) I am at a conference this week, though, so I may be somewhat slow to respond.

Yes, some option to extend the syntax is definitely my top priority. However, this will take quite some time and effort, as building on Showdown.js is not an option. Two questions:

1. What kind of bibliography support would you want to see? What functionality do you expect?

2. Did you try putting \cite{foo} and \bibliography{citations} etc in your Markdown document (right inside Qute)? I did not try it yet, but I think pandoc might be able to work with it.

Hi,

1. Basic support for references would already be great. Something in the vein of what restructured text can do (see, e.g., http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html#citations)

2. I tried. The \cite and \bibliography carry over to the LaTeX file when publishing but I'm still unable to export from Markdown to PDF from within Qute,
