How it works
Create a references.bib file (any *.bib name works) next to the post's
index.md, using exactly the same BibTeX format as in LaTeX. Then cite
entries in the Markdown body with \cite{key} — the text can be copied
between .tex and .md files without modification.
Single and repeated citations
The Kohn–Sham formulation \cite{kohn1965self} maps the interacting many-body problem onto a system of non-interacting electrons. Citing the same reference again \cite{kohn1965self} reuses its number, and a pedagogical overview is given in \cite{burke2013dft}.
Multiple keys and other entry types
Practical calculations rely on exchange–correlation approximations such as PBE \cite{perdew1996generalized}. Textbooks and online manuals can be cited too \cite{martin2004electronic,kresse2023vasp}.
Inside code blocks, \cite{burke2013dft} is left untouched:
As shown in \cite{burke2013dft}, DFT is exact in principle.The reference list below is generated automatically in MLA style, numbered by
first appearance, and each in-text [n] links to its entry.
