cite
Element
Cite a work from the bibliography.
Before you starting citing, you need to add a bibliography somewhere in your document.
Example
This was already noted by
pirates long ago. @arrgh
Multiple sources say ...
@arrgh @netwok.
You can also call `cite`
explicitly. #cite(<arrgh>)
#bibliography("works.bib")

If your source name contains certain characters such as slashes, which are
not recognized by the <>
syntax, you can explicitly call label
instead.
Computer Modern is an example of a modernist serif typeface.
#cite(label("DBLP:books/lib/Knuth86a")).
Syntax
This function indirectly has dedicated syntax. References can be used to cite works from the bibliography. The label then corresponds to the citation key.
Parameters
key
The citation key that identifies the entry in the bibliography that shall be cited, as a label.
View example
// All the same
@netwok \
#cite(<netwok>) \
#cite(label("netwok"))

supplement
A supplement for the citation such as page or chapter number.
In reference syntax, the supplement can be added in square brackets:
View example
This has been proven. @distress[p.~7]
#bibliography("works.bib")

Default: none
form
The kind of citation to produce. Different forms are useful in different scenarios: A normal citation is useful as a source at the end of a sentence, while a "prose" citation is more suitable for inclusion in the flow of text.
If set to none
, the cited work is included in the bibliography, but
nothing will be displayed.
View example
#cite(<netwok>, form: "prose")

pirate life on the human psyche.
