Back references with citations

Back references with citations

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

The hyperref package in LaTeX has an option for back references, where 
there is a link back from the reference in the "References" section to 
the point where it is (first) cited in the main text.

Looking at the Pandoc demos, there is one example that seems to have 
this working:

pandoc -s -S --bibliography biblio.json --filter pandoc-citeproc --csl 
chicago-fullnote-bibliography.csl CITATIONS -o example24b.html

where the output is shown at

http://pandoc.org/demo/example24b.html

Is this feature dependent on the specific csl file that is used during 
compilation of the document?

I have not been able to achieve it with the ieee-with-url.csl file, with 
these command line options, for a file called PPP.md as input and 
PPP.html as output:

pandoc --to html --smart --standalone --css=default.css 
--filter=pandoc-citeproc --bibliography=perl.bib --csl=ieee-with-url.csl 
--metadata link-citations=true --output PPP.html PPP.md

The forward link works fine; I am after the reverse link or back reference.

What should I be doing to get back references?

Thanks.

Re: Back references with citations

[John MACFARLANE]

From pandoc-citeproc man page:

       link-citations
              If this has a true value, citations in author-date and numerical
              styles  will  be hyperlinked to their corresponding bibliography
              entries.  The default is not to add hyperlinks.

So, try adding

    link-citations: true

to your YAML metadata, or use --metadata link-citations=true on the
command line.

Re: Back references with citations

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

Yes, I have already done both

link-citations: true

in my YAML metadata block and also

--metadata link-citations=true

in the pandoc command line invocation

to no avail.

I see that footnotes have backlinks by default.

So, are back references for citationss dependent on the csl being used? 
I suspect that a csl that puts citations in superscripts, like 
footnotes, might provide back references by default.

Thanks.

Re: Back references with citations

[John MacFarlane]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are
asking.  Are you talking about back-references from the
bibliography entries back to the citations?

link-citations only gives you references from the
citations to the bibliography.  The opposite
direction isn't really possible, since there may
be many citations to a single bibliography entry.

Re: Back references with citations

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

Yes, I am asking for links from the bibliography entries back to the 
(first) citation.

IIRC, the example I quoted in my original post does have these as arrows 
with a right angle nect top the bib entries. Hence my question as to 
whether it is available, but csl-specific.

Thanks.

No, there's no way to do this.  In footnote styles it's
different, because each footnote has a unique back-ref.
