Referencing

Referencing is powered by pandoc-citeproc, so any format supported by it is supported. A list of supported formats can be found here.

Remember: To use YAML, your file must end .yaml rather than .yml!

CSL Files

There are many different ways of referencing, both inline, and in a bibliography. md-pdf supports all of them.

The configuration used for this is stored in csl files, which can be downloaded through md-pdf. See the usage instructions on how to download these.

There's a full list of available csl files here.

Example

Assuming youre using the same bibliography as the example, an input of:

@item1 says blah.

Will render as:

Doe (2005) says blah.

Advanced Citation

You can also use more advanced referencing to be more specific:

A citation group [see @item1 p. 34-35; also @item3 chap. 3].

will result in:

A citation group (see Doe 2005, 34–35; also Doe and Roe 2007, chap. 3)
