Changelog Entry

Description

Adds an admin-configurable citation content format setting that allows switching between plain text and markdown rendering in citation modals. This enables richer formatting for RAG citation content when desired.

Added

  • CITATION_FORMAT PersistentConfig setting (plain_text or markdown) in backend config
  • Citation Content Format dropdown in Admin > Settings > General
  • Conditional markdown rendering in CitationModal.svelte using the existing Markdown component

Changed

  • CitationModal.svelte now reads $config?.ui?.citation_format to choose rendering mode
  • /api/config endpoint exposes citation_format in the UI config
  • Admin config GET/POST handlers in auths.py include the new setting

Screenshots or Videos

  • Tested locally and on Kubernetes staging deployment at EPFL
