Hello everyone,

 

In the hope that this may prove useful to others…

 

Cite Tools is an extension of the Quarto Open-Source Scientific and Technical Publishing System, built upon Pandoc and compatible with any version above 2.17, that bundles together several Lua filters 🌙 to introduce advanced bibliography features. Users of the jurassic BibTeX would be exceptionally pleased with the speed and reliability of Pandoc Citeproc, and the fact that it converts documents to over 60 different formats (including HTML, LaTeX, Word). Out-of-the-box, however, Citeproc does not provide common BibTeX functionalities, such as the ability to split the bibliography into multiple sections, or the ability to cite arbitrary fields of the references (e.g. citetitle, citeauthor, citefield). It also lacks the interesting backref option afforded by BibTeX and HyperRef, which allows for the creation of linked indexes of citations. Luckily, Citeproc is extensible, and this extension aims to provide a solution to these limitations and, hopefully, allow Pandoc and Quarto users to completely replace BibTeX/BibLaTeX with Citeproc. It will allow the user to easily create multiple bibliographies (or bibliographies with multiple sections, such as primary and secondary sources), cite arbitrary fields of the references, and create linked indexes of citations.
