## 🛠 Setup
📎 See full setup and usage guide in [INSTRUCTIONS.md](INSTRUCTIONS.md)
### 1. Install Dependencies
This branch (`main`) reflects the **current stable version** (`v0.2.0`), which is:
- ✅ Fully working on **Linux**
- ✅ Fully working on **Android (Termux / Python 3.12)**
> This version does **not** include formatted citation blocks or `citeproc`-based output.
---
## 🚧 Want Better Citations? Try `v0.3.0-rc1` (Linux Only)
A **release candidate for `v0.3.0`** is available on the [`dev`](https://github.com/caedmon5/biblio_mobile_pipeline_v1/tree/dev) branch and tagged as [`v0.3.0-rc1`](https://github.com/caedmon5/biblio_mobile_pipeline_v1/releases/tag/v0.3.0-rc1).
It adds:
- 🧠 **Formatted citation blocks** using CSL (Chicago Author–Date)
- ✍️ Smart quotation fallback
- 📄 Fully compatible output with this version (`v0.2.0`)
> ⚠️ `v0.3.0-rc1` does **not** work on Android due to missing `lxml` support in Python 3.12 (ARM64).
---
## 📦 Requirements
- Python 3.11+ (v0.2.0 works on 3.12; v0.3.0 requires `lxml` which is not yet packaged for Android)
- Linux, Termux (Android), macOS (untested but likely compatible)
Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
---
## 🚀 Usage
```bash
bibnow --dryrun # Preview formatted output
bibnow --commit # Save to Zotero + Obsidian vault
```
---
## 📂 File Structure
- `input.txt`: BibTeX input (clipboard or file)
- `bib_formatter.py`: output generator for BibTeX + YAML + Markdown
- `biblio_pipeline.py`: main CLI entrypoint
- `vendor/citeproc/`: included only in v0.3.x+
