Handlebars Helpers
Displaying a bibliography
Displaying an entire collection
The plugin defines a handlebars helper for rendering an entire bibtex collection as formatted HTML. It takes a collection as argument, and optionally a style, and key style:
{{bibliography <collection> [style=bibtex.style.<styleName>] [keystyle='numbered'|'citekey']}}
Displaying a single entry
Similarly, the bibformat
helper renders a single bibtex entry:
{{bibformat <entry> [style=bibtex.style.<styleName>]}}
Manipulating CSS
The rendering helpers wrap all the fields of a bibtex entry in html tags with classes such as class="bibtex title"
, which allows for further styling.
Sorting and Grouping
Sorting
Collections can be sorted according to any field using the bibsort
helper:
{{bibsort <collection> <field> [bool:reverseOrder]}}
Example: rendering a collection sorted by year in descending order:
{{bibliography (bibsort bibtex.other _year true)}}
Grouping
Collections can be grouped by unique values of a given field:
{{bibgroup <collection> <field>}}
Example of bibliography grouped by entry type:
{{#each (bibgroup bibtex.other _entrytype)}}
<h4>{{group}}</h4>
{{bibliography entries}}
{{/each}}
Citations inside a page
Another helper allows for referring to publications inside the body of the text, which aggregates the cited items in a local bibtex collection.
The cite command can take the collection as optional argument:
{{#bibcite [bibtex.<collection>]}}citekey1 citekey2{{/bibcite}}
