← Overview
Add a .bib bibliography and cite from it anywhere in your text.
Embed a .bib file, alone on its own line, where you want the reference list to appear (usually a "References" page):
![[refs.bib]]
Obsitex registers the file in the preamble and prints the list at that spot:
% added to the preamble:
\addbibresource{./bib/refs.bib}
% at the embed location:
\printbibliography
<aside> ⚠️
Two “References” headings? Then your own # heading and the bibliography's built-in one are both printing. Write the command as \printbibliography[heading=none] in the bibliographyBodyCmd field of your document setup, and only your heading remains. A project folder built by /obsitex:obsitex-init already has it that way; the app's own default does not.

A direct citation [@meier2020] and one with a page number [@meier2020, p.~14].
A paraphrase with a prefix [cf. @meier2020, p.~14].
A direct citation \cite{meier2020} and one with a page number \cite[p.~14]{meier2020}.
A paraphrase with a prefix \cite[cf.][p.~14]{meier2020}.
[@key] → a citation.[@key, locator] → with a page or section (the locator, e.g. p.~14).[prefix @key, locator] → adds a prefix such as "cf." before the citation.A longer, word-for-word quotation with its citation is covered on Callouts & block quotes.
