Hi Rand, Thanks for commenting, I got the idea of this being possible based on your plugin, I am also using it (https://adriaanrol.com/pages/publications/). What I am looking for is more something like the latex /cite command so that I can easily add references into my posts. There is a good chance that I'll have some time to work on this soon giving that I am currently working from home.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Best, Adriaan On Monday, March 30, 2020 at 5:02:37 AM UTC+2, bishop_gate wrote: > > Hi Adriaan, > > I've done referencing using Nikola with a Bibtex.
