They would require using a document compiler like latex, groff or pandoc. I do not know if the following have the feature set that you are looking for. I have not used these myself but they would be what I would look at using if I needed to create citations or bibliographies. For use with latex: * biber * texlive-bibtex For use with pandoc: * ghc-pandoc-citeproc For use with emacs/org: * emacs-biblio * emacs-org-ref I do not know if `refer` is included in the `groff` packaged. As an aside it is interesting to see that `emacs-zotxt` is packaged.
