Recap of Session
#119:

YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language…)

aka “front matter” – controls overall look, feel, & format of your rendered product (plain text within the body of your product typically doesn’t differentiate – YAML is where you differentiate)

3 types of content within these & products:


text

YAML


code

Parallels product specification:

simpler = less formatting restrictions (generally being ok with default appearance)

---
title: "Untitled"
format: revealjs
---

# Header
  
lorem ipsum lorem ipsum...
1
Many, many, many options here

When you are more demanding regarding rendered document spex, you will have more keys and values within your YAML (also indenting for nested/sub–keys)

OCTOTHORPES!!!

Today…

Zotero!!

Very popular (free) citation “manager”
Kulas mostly uses the style repository

  • local or online options (can sign–in, don’t need to)
    • browser extensions ( )
  • Zotero 8 just released (end of January)

Notes…

typst document types have traditionally used a different citation processor than html/pdfs, so you may need an additional specification to have the desired style effect: 






---
title: "My Document"
format:
  typst:
    citeproc: true
    csl: apa.csl
bibliography: references.bib
---
1
Has been historically effective – forcing the “normal” Pandoc citation processor
