I made a language server to support bibliographies in zk notes

[kha-dinh]

I was annoyed by how incomplete the existing support for citation in my Neovim setup (cmp-pandoc-references, mkdnflow), so I went ahead and created a language server to support for bibtex-based citations. While mkdnflow does support similar features, my goal is to be editor-agnostic, more configurable, and to fully leverage LSP capabilities (like textDocument/hover). Currently, the following capabilities are implemented:

LSP Features	Behavior
textDocument/definition	Go to the first definition found in the .bib files.
textDocument/references	Find appearance of prefix + ID with ripgrep.
textDocument/hover	Show metadata from .bib files based on configurations.
textDocument/completion	Triggered by the cite_prefix configuration. Show completion of citation ID for Bibtex entries and their documentation.
textDocument/diagnoistic	Find citations without a proper entry in the bibfile.

Please check it out at bibli-ls! Any suggestions and ideas are welcome.

This is great. Thanks for sharing.
I take it the .bib file needs to be also stored at the root of the notebook / note repo?
I don't see any config options where a .bib file is pointed to.

Currently it looks for a separated config file in the root of the project that points to the .bib file. There is a sample config in the README.
