Autype supports academic-style inline citations and automatic bibliography generation.
Inline citations
Use @[citeKey] to insert a citation:
This has been shown in previous research @[smith2023].
Citations with locators
Add page numbers, chapters, sections, or volumes after the cite key:
@[smith2023, p. 42]
@[smith2023, pp. 42-45]
@[smith2023, ch. 3]
@[smith2023, sec. 2.1]
@[smith2023, vol. 2]
| Prefix | Full form | Description |
|---|
p. | page | Single page |
pp. | pages | Page range |
ch. | chapter | Chapter number |
sec. | section | Section number |
vol. | volume | Volume number |
Combining locators
Multiple locators can be combined with commas:
@[smith2023, vol. 2, pp. 42-45]
@[smith2023, ch. 3, p. 15]
Adding notes
Add a custom note to a citation:
@[smith2023, p. 42, note="emphasis added"]
@[jones2022, note="translated by the author"]
Author control
Suppress author
Prefix the cite key with - to suppress the author name (useful when the author is already mentioned in the text):
Smith @[-smith2023, p. 42] showed that...
Author only (narrative mode)
Append ! to the cite key to show only the author name:
@[smith2023!] showed that the effect is significant @[smith2023, p. 42].
Citations inside formatted text
Citations work inside bold, italic, and other formatting marks:
**This is important @[smith2023, p. 42].**
*As noted by @[jones2022!], the results are clear.*
Bibliography
Generate an automatic bibliography from all citations in the document:
::bibliography{title="References"}
::bib{title="References"}
::references{title="Literaturverzeichnis"}
Attribute reference
| Attribute | Values | Description |
|---|
title | String | Title displayed above the bibliography |
The bibliography only includes sources that are actually cited in the document. Uncited sources from your library are not included.

# Introduction
The relationship between X and Y has been studied extensively
@[smith2023, pp. 1-15]. @[jones2022!] provided a comprehensive
overview of the field, while @[-doe2021, ch. 3] focused specifically
on the methodology.
As **Smith @[-smith2023, p. 42]** noted, the effect size is
significant. This aligns with earlier findings @[brown2020, vol. 2, p. 88].
# References
::bibliography{title="References"}
