My web site: citation system

Up: My web site

Current setup

Simple:

John Smith says it is good [@Smith2023Great].

Smith says it is good.1

(Yep, it moves the superscript beyond the punctation, as it should.)

Drawbacks

Potential future improvements

Separate YAML files

Keep a YAML file with my own bibliography with customizable items (e.g. specific YouTube videos, podcasts, short stories within collections).

Alternative, keep it in Bear.

Markdown already has a link format — [text](http://example.com) — so many having it link to a resource to be cited could work:

[this video](@Smith2023Great) says everything is great.

This video1 says everything is great.
