更灵活的引文格式

Question

I love to use citations in my r bookdown projects.

The format is not very flexible, I can use @citeID to get "Author(Year)" or [@citeID] to get "(Author Year)".

Sometimes I only need "(Year)" or "Year" or I may only need "Author Year" with no parentheses at all.

Finally I need to add a page reference to the citation like "Author (Year:Pages)"

Can anybody give me a hint, where the relevant code sits in the source so that I can start adding some cite-formats as described above?

There are many citation modifications offered by Markdown, many of which you can find in the Pandoc Users Guide . With them you can hide the author, make page references, etc.:

• @Einstein1905 -- Einstein et al. (1905)
• [@Einstein1905] -- (Einstein et al., 1905)
• [see @Einstein1905, pp. 23-42] -- (see Einstein et al., 1905, pp. 23-42)
• Einstein was right [-@Einstein1905] -- Einstein was right (1905)

Details like switching off paranthesis or other punctuation related issues can be regulated in detail by designing your own biblatex style . These style files can be tested here and can be referenced during markdown conversion using commands like --biblatex .
