rOpenSci | A Roundup of R Tools for Handling BibTeX

[system]

Our website is based on Markdown content rendered with Hugo. Markdown content is in some cases knit from R Markdown, but with less functionality than if one rendered R Markdown to html as in the blogdown default. In particular, we cannot use the usual BibTex + CSL + Pandoc-citeproc dance to handle a bibliography. Thankfully, using the rOpenSci package RefManageR, we can still make our own bibliography from a BibTeX file without formatting references by hand. In this post we shall present our custom workflow for inserting citations, as well as more mainstream tools.

Thanks for this list! How about inside packages? The package Rdpack plays nice with roxygen2, but I wish I could use it without forcing package users to install another dependency. Is there another good option?

@mikeroswell! Would you mind creating a new topic in General Q&A - rOpenSci Discuss with more details on what you are trying to accomplish, so that others might chime in if they have ideas? Thank you!
