Scholarly citations with citemarks

Citing

BLUEPHRASE has special citemark notation to solve this problem. Each attribution consists of a short reference citation that appears in the body-matter, and a full citation that appears in the back-matter together with other citations. Both of these can be kept together, at the point in your manuscript where the attribution is needed, using phrasing surrounded by curly-brace doppelmarks that look like this {{ ... }}.

Inside the doppelmarks, are two delimited expressions:

• an interscribed expression delimited with single-quotes ' ... ', and
• an adjunct expression delimited with double-quotes " ... ".

Here's an example of citemarks:

Later he asks a biologist to calculate what percentage of a McDonald's meal was derived
from corn. {{'(Pollan 2006, 99–100)'  "Pollan, Michael. 2006. <<i The Omnivore’s Dilemma:
A Natural History of Four Meals.>> New York: Penguin."}}
					

When this BLUEPHRASE is compiled, the emitted HTML contains the interscribed expression, with a hyperlink to the full citation, which appears elsewhere. Here's how the example would be emitted:

<p>Later he asks a biologist to calculate what percentage of a McDonald's meal was derived
from corn. <a id=ct20 href='#ct23'>(Pollan 2006, 99–100)</a></p>
					

Building the list of references

The adjunct expressions from all of the citemarks in your manuscript are gathered together and emitted where a build pragma occurs. Citations can be ordered alphabetically, or in the order that they occur within the body-matter. Here's what it might look like:

div {
    h1 References Cited
    !build-citations *order=alpha
}
					

Then, the relevant portion of the emitted output (ignoring all other citemarks, for brevity) would look like this:

<div>
     <h1>References Cited</h1>
    <ul>
        ...
        <li id=ct23><a href='#ct20'>(Pollan 2006, 99–100)</a><cite>Pollan, Michael. 2006. <i>The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.</i> New York: Penguin.</cite></li>
        ...
    </ul>
</div>
					

Each full citation is hyperlinked back to the place in the body matter where the attribution was first made.
