The citations processor that is used in this extension already supports LaTeX output:

but more changes will be needed. The pre-requisite would be #8.

Second that! This would be the last obstacle to fully "close the loop" for me. After implementation of RTC in lab and jupyterlab-latex the only missing feature for a full research/collaboration/publication workflow is lack of the support for citations. I have tried if I can function with text exported from notebooks and conversions, but it is too complicated to force my colleagues to use it and the result is not suitable for submission to the journal. So I am stuck with writing in overleaf and constantly copying data/figures etc. instead of having everything under one roof.
What will be required for such extension @krassowski ? How can I help to make it happen? And thanks for an already very useful tool!

Hi @jochym I pushed a very rough draft in #58 but it requires more work. Briefly, the LaTeX world and citeproc processor world are quite incompatible and I am still looking at ways to build a bridge that would not take away from the benefits of either.

Thanks for your efforts! That was quick. Shall I test something already? Unfortunately, I am really not good with TS. And BTW, from my POV the perfect solution will allow for using \cite{nameYear} in the text. Just my two cents.
