How to write reference & citation?

[vanabel]

I try to write some reference as following:
From [bao2004zermelo][1], we konw that...

The problem is that this can't work when there has some white space in the reference, then how to solve this problem?

Maybe integrate bibtex-markdown into stackedit will be a perfect solution?

Regarding bibtex-markdown:

1. it's a perl library
2. it takes an external bibtex file as parameter

So there is no way to integrate bibtex-markdown in StackEdit.
However, MultiMarkdown has bibliography support in a standalone document which could be implemented in StackEdit.

What do you think?

Or maybe the MultiMarkdown footnotes are simpler and more generic. Here is a concrete example. Would it be ok for you?

I think the footnotes maybe a better try? Could your integrate it into stackedit??

Implemented Markdown footnotes:

You can create footnotes like this[^footnote].

  [^footnote]: Here is the *text* of the **footnote**.

BibTeX citations would indeed be nice to have. There are a few BibTeX parsers implemented in Javascript, but none have been updated recently (not that much has happened to bibtex in the last two decades).

markx uses bibtex-js for this purpose.

At the moment, I simply use [@..] citekeys, and convert using pandoc once the manuscript is ready for publication.

I suppose for future-proofing, CSL support is the best way to go though :)
