using YAML/JSON/biblatex with ACM CHI extension?

[reagle]

Hello, I'm a Quarto newbie and am trying to create a submission for CHI'23. I use pandoc for my own materials and have bibliographies in CSL YAML & JSON. However, the ACM extension seems to require bibtex files...(?) I can use pandoc to convert from YAML to bibtex, but it is very lossy (e.g., dropping url). My bibliography tool can also generate biblatex, but quarto/xetex complains I'm missing the year field -- I'm using the date field. Any suggestions for:

• being able to use CSL YAML/JSON "natively"?
• converting from CSL/biblatex to bibtex?

Thanks!

@reagle Thanks for the interest! I know our CHI format is sub-optimal, and I'd love help you and create a top-notch CHI format. Would you mind reaching out over email to me at [email protected]?

Hi, just wondering if there's been any progress on this?

As far as I can see there were some updates in the template, did you try the latest version of it?
