Decker has grown from a scientific community and therefore supports scientific content creation.
You can add a bibliography file (`.bib`) to decker by using the meta option `bibliography` and a "Citation Style Language" file (`.csl`) by using the `csl` option.
Defining a `CSL` is optional, Decker defaults to `'chicago-author-date.csl'`.
```yaml
bibliography:bibliography.bib
csl:acm-sig-proceedings.csl
```
## Citations
Example `.bib` file:
```bibtex
@inproceedings{zimmerer2018space,
title={Space Tentacles - Integrating Multimodal Input into a VR Adventure Game},
author={Zimmerer, Chris and Fischbach, Martin and Latoschik, Marc Erich},
booktitle={Proceedings of the 25th IEEE Virtual Reality (VR) conference},
year={2018},
publisher={IEEE}
}
```
You can use two different syntaxes to reference citations in the markdown source
```markdown
## Space Tentacles
Have you heard about Space Tentacles [@zimmerer2018space].
According to @zimmerer2018space it is a nice idea.
```
With `chicago-author-date.csl` this will result in the following text.
> Have you heard about Space Tentacles (Zimmerer, Fischbach, and Latoschik 2018). According to Zimmerer, Fischbach, and Latoschik (2018) it is a nice idea.
## Bibliography/References List
The bibliography will be automatically appended to the end of your slide deck.
You should end your markdown `*-deck.md` file with an empty header to ensure that the bibliography appears on its own slide

If you want to include the bibliography on an arbitrary slide you can do this by writing e.g.
