Citation in this blog

If you want to cite a reference like this , you need to do some extra configuration. The manual is clearly written. The user can eval the following code to automatically generate a reference list.

(with-eval-after-load 'ox
  (defun my/org-ref-process-buffer--html (backend)
    "Preprocess `org-ref' citations to HTML format.

Do this only if the export backend is `html' or a derivative of
that."
    ;; `ox-hugo' is derived indirectly from `ox-html'.
    ;; ox-hugo <- ox-blackfriday <- ox-md <- ox-html
    (when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'html)
      (org-ref-process-buffer 'html)))
  (add-to-list 'org-export-before-parsing-hook #'my/org-ref-process-buffer--html))

To check an org-mode entry has a reference, see wr/does-buffer-has-a-reference-p:

(defun wr/does-buffer-has-a-reference-p ()
  (if (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'link
        (lambda (lnk)
          (when (assoc (org-element-property :type lnk) org-ref-cite-types)
            lnk)))
      t nil))

Now, we can add something to the refile commmand such that it will generate a reference list if you cite something in the blog post, but do nothing if you do not have any citation in the original post.

  (org-end-of-subtree)
  (insert "\n")
  (cl-loop repeat (+ 1 (org-current-level))
           do (insert "\*"))
  (insert " Reference(s) \n [[bibliography:/path/lib.bib]]")
  (beginning-of-buffer))

Now, you don’t worry about the reference any more. Happy writting and citation.
