citum

The Citum command-line tool: render citations and bibliographies, validate Citum-format styles and references, convert between bibliographic formats, and migrate legacy CSL 1.0 styles to Citum.

Installation

cargo install citum

Pre-built binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows are also published on each release; see the GitHub releases page.

Usage

Render a document with citations:

citum render document.dj --style apa --bibliography refs.bib

Convert a bibliography between formats:

citum convert refs.bib --from biblatex --to citum-yaml > refs.yaml

Migrate a legacy CSL 1.0 style to Citum:

citum migrate apa.csl --output apa.yaml

Validate a Citum style or reference file:

citum validate refs.yaml
citum validate my-style.yaml

Use citum --help for the full subcommand list, and citum <subcommand> --help for per-subcommand options.

Builtin styles

The binary ships with curated styles (APA 7th, Chicago 18th, IEEE, MLA, AMA, and more) — use --style apa rather than supplying a file path to pick a builtin.

Project

Part of Citum, a modern citation engine in Rust. The CLI wraps the underlying citum-engine.
