This is something that pandoc does very well (http://pandoc.org/README.html#citations).\r\n\r\nIn the past I used AsciiDoc to write scientific articles and used Zotero to imported formatted references, but that gets annoying really fast and so now I’m mostly using markdown. IMHO this is a major blocker for get the scientific community to use AsciiDoc and finally stop using Word :)\r\n\r\nNot sure if this in the scope of AsciiDoc(tor) but it would be great to have!\r\n\r\nThanks!\r\nBela"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/comments/116705790","html_url":"https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/1374#issuecomment-116705790","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/1374","id":116705790,"user":{"login":"and3k","id":75233,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/75233?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k","html_url":"https://github.com/and3k","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/and3k/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-29T14:33:17Z","updated_at":"2015-06-29T14:33:17Z","body":"I didn’t know about asciidoc-bib. But as you already pointed out there are some limitations. One I already see is it’s inability to automatically add \"et al.\" when appropriate. I like the possibility to add page numbers (can’t be done with pandoc afaik), but I also wouldn’t know when to use this when writing a scientific paper ;) \r\n\r\nBtw, bibliography at the end of chapters is something that can be done with the DocBook style sheets (I think)."}}
