How to add citations in a web page?

Question

I want to add bibliography citations in a web page. What is the easiest way to do this ?

I have found JQuery plugins for creating footnotes, like this one, but they still require to write some boilerplate html code, and the definition of citation entries (e.g., [Einstein 1939.]) is not automatic :(

I am wondering if there is something in the style of bibtex for html pages.

Answer 1

There are several tools for generating citations and bibliographies in webpages that are based around the Citation Style Language. Which is most useful depends on your platform and desired source of bibliographic metadata. Examples are KCite (for WordPress), Zotpress (for WordPress in combination with Zotero), the Bibliography Module for Drupal, and pandoc.
