citations
I have a convoluted method whereby I insert citations into notes. It's an ongoing process.
Pandoc supports a mechanism for this that I somehow missed completely. You create a single bibliography (in BibTex format) and use a bracketed syntax to reference the bibliographic entry. I may have skipped over it because it didn't have a means for recording the page number.
In Markdown
Assuming there is a BibTex file, like this:
T282828
T56d364@miscTb4b4b4{ Te6edf3enwiki:1091149211Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3author Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ff{Ta5d6ffWikipedia contributorsTa5d6ff}Ta5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3title Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ffEnthymeme --- Ta5d6ff{Ta5d6ffWikipediaTa5d6ff}Ta5d6ff{Ta5d6ff,Ta5d6ff}Ta5d6ff The Free EncyclopediaTa5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3year Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ff2022Ta5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3url Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ffhttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enthymeme&oldid=1091149211Ta5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3note Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ff[Online; accessed 18-August-2022]Ta5d6ff"
Tb4b4b4}
And a markdown file like this:
T282828
---
Tc9d1d9bibliography: bib.bib
Tc9d1d9---
Tff7b72> Phrase to be cited. [@enwiki:1091149211]
Then invoking Pandoc like this:
pandoc -C doc.mu -t markdown_strict
Would produce output like this:
Front matter.
> Here is a reference to enthymemes. (Wikipedia contributors 2022)
End matter.
Wikipedia contributors. 2022. “Enthymeme — Wikipedia, the Free
Encyclopedia.”
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enthymeme&oldid=1091149211>.
That isn't too bad, aside from the lack of automatic title for where references are injected.
In the Capsule
So instead of the real Pandoc method, I have multiple T383838.bib files, that I expand into T383838.mu files as though they were their own separate Reference sections, and these show up okay because they're just links to other documents.
I would have something like this T383838wikipedia-enthymeme.mu file:
T282828
---
bibliography: wikipedia-enthymeme.bib
tags: [cite, gemini, publish]
nocite: '@*'
Tc9d1d9title: "citation: Wikipedia Enthymeme article"
Tc9d1d9---
::: {#refs}
:::
And a bib file like this:
T282828
T56d364@miscTb4b4b4{ Te6edf3enwiki:1091149211Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3author Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ff{Ta5d6ffWikipedia contributorsTa5d6ff}Ta5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3title Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ffEnthymeme --- Ta5d6ff{Ta5d6ffWikipediaTa5d6ff}Ta5d6ff{Ta5d6ff,Ta5d6ff}Ta5d6ff The Free EncyclopediaTa5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3year Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ff2022Ta5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3url Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ffhttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enthymeme&oldid=1091149211Ta5d6ff"Tb4b4b4,
Te6edf3note Tb4b4b4= Ta5d6ff"Ta5d6ff[Online; accessed 18-August-2022]Ta5d6ff"
Tb4b4b4}
And then a Pandoc call like this:
pandoc -C -t markdown_strict wikipedia-enthymeme.mu
Which produces output like this:
Wikipedia contributors. 2022. “Enthymeme — Wikipedia, the Free
Encyclopedia.”
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enthymeme&oldid=1091149211>.
That output goes into a new file of the same name as the old one, but in a new directory. The new directory content is converted en masse to Gemtext.
How is it broken?
The way I do it lets me link to a separate citation, but requires I embed a particular notation style in the note where I want to make the reference so I can include a page number. And I do it inconsistently. If I were using the actual Pandoc method, the citation style could be agnostic, but I don't know how to include a page number when I do that. I'll continue to think on this, but for now I wont be changing anything.
