I wasn't clear on what you had in mind, but check this out: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-bibtex By the way, in one of my newest books, authored in Asciidoctor, I do the citations in each chapter instead of at the end of the book. It seems to work, at least in HTML. I'm not using bibtex because LaTeX is only used as an intermediate file, produced by pandoc, and consumed by lualatex. I have one completed book produced via asciidoctor: It's a free-as-in-beer book called "Rules of the Happiness Highway" available at http://troubleshooters.com/bookstore/place2b/ptb_zx4.epub . I produced this eBook with asciidoctor-epub3 and a home-made 22 line shellscript. Years ago I produced the same eBook, written in LyX, with LyXHTM plus several hundred lines of awk and python, and my scripts were good only for that one book. Both the LyX produced and the Asciidoctor produced versions passed epubcheck with flying colors.
