YMALStoring bibliographic information in XML or

YMALStoring bibliographic information in XML or

[James]

Hi everyone
For years I have been storing my bibliographic information in  .bib 
files. Unfortunately I am not finding that the .bib format is 
particularly human readable or extensible. Looking around for 
alternatives, I was wondering if Pandoc can read from .xml files and if 
so, how one would create a reference. I have tried to do this but 
pandoc-citeproc tells me that my reference cannot be found. Also, can 
anyone point me in the direction of a good introduction to learning YMAL 
please, as I have seen this mentioned in the user guide as an 
alternative to .bib.
Thank you.
Best wishes
James

How are you generating those bib files? If you're in a citation manager 
like Zotero, you can probably just export the file in another form. I use 
json, myself, and then just point pandoc at that.

Pandoc can read MODS XML files.

I personally use biblatex these days, since it's more expressive than 
bibtex, has good tool support (I use emacs), can be easily converted to 
other formats (including MODS), etc.

You can use pandoc-citeproc to convert your .bib to a
pandoc-readable  .yaml:

    pandoc-citeproc -y my.bib > my.yaml
