  Citation Style Language schema (by citation-style-language)

  

* the citation plugin for Obsidian, which uses CSL-JSON [^4]

This might in the end be my personal preference, but a standardized JSON format (which is just as easily adaptable to YAML [^5]) seems much easier to parse and modify than Bibtex, with its sheer complexity. If we want to have the ability to easily cite anything, then this direction of standardization, I believe, is a must.

• csl-ruby

  1 16 0.0 Ruby

  Citation Style Language (CSL) API for Ruby

Yep, came here to say the same thing.

There's already a lot of open source work going on around CSL, which I think originally comes out of Zotero.

While CSL comes from Javascript world, there already is a ruby implementation. https://github.com/inukshuk/csl-ruby

Even if github or other open source authors weren't happy with that implementation (whether for legitimate reasons or "not invented here"), it would still have been nice to do something around the basic CSL standards in some way, instead of inventing a new similar standard in ".cff".

• KeenWrite

  98 621 0.0 Java

  Discontinued Free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown text editor with live preview, string interpolation, and math.

There are at least six competing formats for citations and cross-references in Markdown documents[0]. At some point, I'd like to update my text editor[1] to use a "standard" syntax, but CommonMark hasn't proposed one and the forums are quite quiet on the subject.

• citeproc-js

  1 285 3.9 JavaScript

  A JavaScript implementation of the Citation Style Language (CSL) https://citeproc-js.readthedocs.io

  

I don't know if this fits your KaTeX analogy, but citeproc has a javascript implementation. Uses CSL-JSON to render citations.
