Stack Exchange References

#Stack Exchange References


##What is it? Stack Exchange References is a userscript for easily putting in references in answers and questions.


##Description

  • In the top bar of any answer or question on SE, a new image is added, which looks like:

    partial screenshot

  • When this is clicked on, you will get a reference put into your post

  • You will get prompted for the reference link and name

  • <sup>[1]</sup>, which will end up looking like 1, will be put into the post's textarea wherever your cursor is

  • <sup>[1: Title of Reference][2]</sup> will be appended to the textarea, which will appear as 1: Title of Reference

  • Under the title of the reference, [1]: reference link will be put in the text area


##Source Code/Download

You can view that source code on Github, feel free to contribute. You can download the userscript here.


##Bugs

I'm sure there are several bugs (one is that the [1] is terrible), so if you find any, please post them as an answer here.
