Is there interest in a bibtex remark plugin for generating bibliographies from citation keys?

This would take a latex bib file (e.g. from mendeley) and can then generate a references section at the bottom of a markdown file based on citations in the markdown text.

For example, if you cite a paper per a citation key in your bib file, e.g. (@Kingma2016), it will then add the following at the bottom of your markdown:

References
Kingma, D. P., Salimans, T., Jozefowicz, R., Chen, X., Sutskever, I., & Welling, M. (2016). Improving Variational Inference with Inverse Autoregressive Flow. http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.04934

EDIT: I've created a package available at: https://github.com/benchmark-urbanism/remark-bibtex

looks nice! I’m sure this is useful to some folks!

Some ideas:

• you might want to investigate reading the file async (transforms are allowed to be async)
• fromMarkdown(citedHtml) sounds weird? That seems HTML
• As you’re doing a lot of things with HTML, working with HTML might be easier than working with markdown: a rehype plugin might make more sense?

Thanks, I've revised the package taking your comments into account. I've now switched to using footnotes instead of a randomly added bibliography section.
