The following allows for templated references when using <ref>. The code below is a demonstration of the concept and the template is rudimentary. The principle is that a user may use the <ref> tag as normal or may use attributes such as title="xxx" to define the reference data. If the contents of the reference tag is left blank i.e. (<ref /> or <ref></ref>) then the extension will try to build a templated reference from these attributes.

The attributes first, last, title, year, publisher, isbn and page are accepted by the example code below. The format of the template in the example below is as follows:

  • F. Last. Title. Publisher: Location. Year. Page Page. ISBN: ISBN
