I think I made a really nice setup for marrying technical #Markdown documentation with academic citations in #LaTeX. It was as simple as writing a little #Python script using a citation library (PybTeX) and then incorporating it into the build process.

See it working at https://marsh-sim.github.io/bibliography/

Because everything is written in regular files, the editor can autocomplete citation keys without any special tooling - they are just sections in another file. This kind of interoperability is why simple tools like text files and #ssg are so great.

I'm not a fan of hosting it on GitHub anymore, but there are already links in various places that I can't update, so this is the reasonable thing to do.
