Is there a PHP/Perl/Python/... library for picking citations out of an HTML file and rendering a nice list of references at the bottom, like in Wikipedia?
I'm developing a website with heavily-sourced content, and I'd really like to have automatically-generated lists of formatted references, like in Wikipedia. (Check out their philosophy page, and see how the superscript numbered citations interact with the references at the bottom. This is all dynamically generated, automatically ordered & linked.) They do it really well: the citations are linked to the references (which are backlinked to the citations), when you click on one of the links, the target is highlighted, etc. I'm tempted to build the site on MediaWiki just for this one feature, but it seems like overkill. Do I have any options?

Jekyll-citation and Jekyll-scholar (see this SO post) are extentions to Jekyll/Octopress, Ruby-based generators for static sites.
Wordpress, with the Netblog plugin, is almost good enough for my needs. Almost. It doesn't generate COinS output, it doesn't have links to the footnotes, and it doesn't automatically link DOIs. Maybe this will help someone else out.
