Render qmd file offline with csl file included

[likanzhan]

Description

1. Suppose I have the following simple example (All filles are included in the appendix)

---
title: "Example"
bibliography: Example.bib
csl: entropy.csl

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    html-math-method: mathjax
    title-block-style: none
---

This is the EPR paper [@Einstein1935].

2. It can be successfully renderd online, but in the offline mode, I got the following error:

  output-file: Example.html

Could you share your example as a Git repository? (it's easier to see the content, clone and use Codespaces, etc.)

Also please provide the output of quarto check.

The issue is your CSL file. It's not self-contained. Look at the content.
Quarto can't do anything about it.

Here is the content of your CSL, your CSL file requires an internet connection.

Thanks for sharing the zip folder.

You get this probleme because you are using entropy.csl which is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" version="1.0" default-locale="en-US">

You see that it has a parent, which is online http://www.zotero.org/styles/multidisciplinary-digital-publishing-institute

So for quarto render to work, pandoc's needs an online connection so that the parent CSL is retrievd.

Currently it can't which is what the error tells you

Could not fetch http://www.zotero.org/styles/multidisciplinary-digital-publishing-institute

So you need to change CSL to have a full non-remote one, or need to render with online access.

Hope it helps
