Insert citations (inline and as a reference section) in a plotly dash app

Dash Python
1

Hi, I would like to cite some references (stored in a bibtex file) inside a markdown section and have them fully typed in a reference section. Is that possible?

I quickly search online and couldn’t find anything related to this. So far I was thinking on writing the text in Emacs (org mode + org ref) export it to markdown and copy into the dash app. However I would like something more efficient. Thanks

hi @5au1
:wave: welcome to the community.

Can you show an image of what a reference section would look like? What do you mean cite references inside a markdown section?

I’m trying to visualize the final result you’re looking for.

Hi @adamschroeder thanks for the quick reply. For the readme file of a GitHub repo I wrote it as an *.org file and exported to markdown. The result was something like the following

  • Org file
Exercises from 'Python crash course: A hands-on, project-based introduction to programming' by [[textcite:&Matthes-2019]]
...
bibliography:Python_notes.bib
  • Exported MD file
Exercises from 'Python crash course: A hands-on, project-based introduction to programming' by <a href="#citeproc_bib_item_1">Matthes 2019</a>
...
<div class="csl-entry"><a id="citeproc_bib_item_1"></a>Matthes, Eric. 2019. <i>Python Crash Course: A Hands-on, Project-Based Introduction to Programming</i>. 2nd edition. San Francisco, CA: No Starch Press.</div>

I tried to do the same in a plotly dash app but the inline references and the section are not rendered as in GitHub.

dcc.Markdown("""
Exercises from 'Python crash course: A hands-on, project-based introduction to programming' by <a href="#citeproc_bib_item_1">Matthes 2019</a>
""")

I hope the above explains my question. Thanks
