xbRefMan

xbRefMan is packaged together with the xbRefs Plugins - an editor button plugin and a content plugin for inserting reference and footnote information as shortcodes in articles.

The reference information - title and description/citation can be embedded as text in the shortcode or draw information from a Joomla tag or weblink (weblinks use the official Weblinks component which is available separately).

References can display as either/both popovers in the article text or as footnotes appended to the end of the article (created automatically by the content plugin)

xbRefMan provides back-end (admin) views listing Text, Tag and Weblink references in use, and a list of articles with references. For individual references a list of articles they appear in is provided. Tools are available to add/remove shortcode highlighting in articles, to remove individual references (shortcode deletion in all or individual articles) and conversion of embedded Text references to Tags.

On the front-end (site) xbRefMan provides lists of references with the articles that use them and lists of articles with their references.
