Are Quarto **books** cite-able?

[agrogan1]

Hello! Is there a way to make a quarto book citeable? The Quarto documentation, Quarto - Creating Citeable Articles, would seem to indicate that this is possible for articles but it does not seem to work for books.

In case it's helpful, my book is here, Multilevel Thinking, and my YAML is here, multilevel-thinking/_quarto.yml at main · agrogan1/multilevel-thinking · GitHub.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

We don't currently support providing the formatted 'appendix' for books - I'm not sure where the logical place to put them would be (particularly given the potential conflict with 'true' appendices that may appear in a book). We do support the google-scholar options (as you discovered) which will help with indexing.

What would you think the right thing to do with formatted citation data would be in the case of books (perhaps it belongs on the title page)? It would be helpful to have some ideas of better approaches!

Thanks for your thoughts! I was thinking of something that duplicated the citation information that one can generate in Distill, or I guess in Quarto articles, but you are right, *where* to put it in a book is a question. Putting it on the title page is a great idea. I also think automatically generating an Appendix with citation information would be useful, but I don't know enough about the internals of Quarto to know whether this would generate a conflict. Last thought is that you could let the user put it wherever in the document they wished, with something like the Quarto `{{< pagebreak >}}` code. Something like `{{ < citation > }}` ?

The user controlled positioning is a really nice idea (we do the same with references using a magic DIV with an ID, which might be a useful pattern here too). I'm going to transfer this to an issue so we don't lose track of the improvement!

Did an issue get created for this? We also want to be able to generate a citation for our book, and I'd like to keep an eye on this feature

Yes

Thanks! I've never noticed that part of the page
