# Section 1

# Appendix 

This is an appendix

bibliography.bib

@article{marshallSamplingQualitativeResearch1996,
  title = {Sampling for Qualitative Research},
  author = {Marshall, Martin N},
  date = {1996-01-01},
  journaltitle = {Family Practice},
  shortjournal = {Family Practice},
  volume = {13},
  number = {6},
  pages = {522--526},
  issn = {0263-2136},
  doi = {10.1093/fampra/13.6.522},
  url = {https://doi.org/10.1093/fampra/13.6.522},
  urldate = {2024-10-22},
  abstract = {The probability sampling techniques used for quantitative studies are rarely appropriate when conducting qualitative research. This article considers and explains the differences between the two approaches and describes three broad categories of naturalistic sampling: convenience, judgement and theoretical models. The principles are illustrated with practical examples from the author's own research.},
  file = {/mnt/dataint/data/zotero/storage/SY27VB9N/Marshall - 1996 - Sampling for qualitative research.pdf}
}

Now render it with

quarto render main.qmd

In the resulting file the reference section precedes the appendix:

But the documentation says:

If your bibliography is being generated using BibLaTeX or natbib (Section 7), the bibliography will always appear at the end of the document and the #refs div will be ignored.

Thanks for catching that. This is indeed now supported since Quarto 1.3 (c15360b)
