Astro-style references in Sphinx documents

sphinx-astrorefs is a Sphinx extension for formatting citations and references in a style similar to that used in the astrophysics literature. It is built on top of sphinxcontrib-bibtex, a Sphinx extension for including bibtex citations in Sphinx documents. By pre- and post-processing the input and output from Sphinx and sphinxcontrib-bibtex, sphinx-astrorefs allows you to obtain citations in the astro-specific style in the HTML and LaTeX rendering of your Sphinx documents.

Changelog

• 2024/10/21: Version 0.11: Fixed the use of a deprecated Sphinx function to maintain compatibility with the latest versions of Sphinx.
• 2023/07/23: Version 0.10: Fix small issue introduced in version 0.9 with how book titles were formatted. Also remove printing ISBN for books.
• 2023/07/23: Version 0.9: Perform better formatting of book, proceedings, and PhD thesis references that is also more consistent with how articles are formatted.
• 2022/07/06: Version 0.8: Pin sphinxcontrib.bibtex version to 2.1.4, because this code doesn't work for more recent versions (yet). Also allow the arxiv.org part of the arXiv URL to be changed through the astrorefs_arxiv_url configuration parameter.
• 2021/01/06: Version 0.7: Further changes for sphinxcontrib.bibtex version 2.1, because those in version 0.6 were not correct. As in version 0.6, this package is compatible with sphinxcontrib.bibtex v1 and v2.1 and beyond, but not v2.0.
• 2021/01/06: Version 0.6: Small changes for sphinxcontrib.bibtex version 2.1 (no longer required to run sphinx twice or to commit bibtex.json). This package is compatible with sphinxcontrib.bibtex v1 and v2.1 and beyond, but not v2.0.
• 2020/12/19: Version 0.5: Minor bug fixes (missing volume fields, latex preambe) and changes for sphinxcontrib.bibtex version 2.
• 2020/08/25: Version 0.4: Adds correct dealing with duplicate labels by adding a letter ('a', 'b', ...) to the year and added the remainder of the AAS macros so they are now all correctly resolved.
• 2020/08/09: Version 0.3: Fixes a minor bug in 0.2 that caused multiple \citealt-style citations in a single line be parsed incorrectly. All reference replacements are now done one at a time, so multi-citation lines should now be handled correctly for all citation types.
• 2020/07/22: Version 0.2: Removes printing the Sphinx builder's name and makes the bibtex label invisible in the HTML reference section without removing the element entirely and thus removing the id link, thus fixing the HTML rendering of the reference section.
• 2020/07/01: Version 0.1.
