[IPython-dev] \citep and \citet for markdown latex citations

[John Griffiths]

So I opened an issue, and in the end did a little hack myself and submitted
PR.

See links here for the PR and for an example notebook

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/5370#issuecomment-37897451

I agree that the html tag is a bit long-winded. Shorter solution would be
better if poss.

But in terms of rendering they look fine;

<cite data-cite="granger2013">(Granger, 2013)</cite>

just gets rendered as 'Granger, 2013'.

I've raised a few latex issues over the last year or so on stackoverflow
that various ipython peeps have helped with. You might find some of those
useful.

In the end I've actually opted to use my institution's latex thesis
template, with various post-nbconvert few hacks on the .tex files. If I had
more time I would have preferred to make an nbconvert template that does
the same job; but I don't have that luxury and also am not a latex expert.

Repo is here

...though I wasn't planning on publicising this yet as it isn't
particularly clean and lots of uncommitted changes. You might want to take
a look at this notebook though

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/JohnGriffiths/phd-thesis-template/blob/master/JG_hacks/DoMe.ipynb

...which basically does everything and has a reasonable amount of
documentation.


Let me know your thoughts. I could easily see an 'nbconvert thesis
template' being very popular. Happy to help move a mini-project like that
forward.
