Feature request: Language-specific citation format

[kha-dinh]

Support different cite formats for interoperability with other languages like latex, org

What is the actual citation format you currently support?

The one in pandoc is the most robust and widely supported in the markdown world.

Hi, currently, the default supported format is to pandoc but uses commas instead of semicolons to separate keys.
For example, for citing multiple keys:[@cite1, @cite2, @cite3].

However, you can easily customize this behavior by changing the config file .bibli.toml.

[cite]
separator = ";"

Now [@cite1; @cite2; @cite3] can be recognized.

More complex syntax like [see @doe99, pp. 33-35 and *passim*; @smith04, chap. 1], author cite is not supported yet,
but it would not be difficult to support them.

Thanks for the link, I guess it would be a good idea to support pandoc syntax as the default.

#22 made pandoc the default format and added support for detecting cite keys in [see @doe99, pp. 33-35 and *passim*; @smith04, chap. 1]. No more configuration is required.

Awesome; thanks!

I'm new to helix (where I am testing this) and LSP config, so may be missing something.

But I was expecting citation autocomplete to only be activated in specific contexts; like after typing @.

Instead, I see this:

Expected, or have I likely done something wrong?

This is how it works in my Emacs package (citar):

This is a known issue with the LSP implementation. I'll focus on fixing it when I have time.
