Guide on using BibTeX for references

1

Hey there, I recently started using Zola, and it’s been a wonderful experience so far.
After hacking around the last few days, I have managed to use the load_data feature with the integrated BibTeX support for my references! I published a blog post about it here in case this is of interest to anybody: Using BibTeX for referencing in Zola | hertig.blog

This will allow you to have a references.bib as a colocated asset to your markdown files, which is then automatically loaded. With a simple shortcode, it is possible to make in-text citations to the references. :slight_smile:

Entry in the references.bib file:

@misc{somekey,
  title = "Some title",
  url = "https://www.example.org/",
  author = "John Doe",
}

And the shortcode:

This needs citation {{ reference(key="somekey") }}.
