How to Use

This plugin reads a user-specified BibTeX file and generates bibliographic information within your articles and pages.

If the file is present and readable, then content will be scanned for references to citation keys. These take the format [@Bai2011] or [@@Bai2011]. These will be replaced by incline citations which provide links to the full bibliographic information at the end of the article. The former reference would be replaced by a citation of the form "Bai & Stone (2011)", while the latter would be replaced by "(Bai & Stone, 2011)".

If a citation key is used which does not exist within the BibTeX file then a warning will be displayed.
