Settings

Bearbeiten

The implementation detects some content und present it via variables. These variables can be added by §variable§ in text prototypes for easy creation of references. To adapt the output to your wishes you can be change the prototypes in the settings page for AddOns (FireFox -> AddOns -> Settings). If you set the prototypes to empty, the preferences is set to a default value at the next start.

For GoogleBook references it provides the status variables GoogleBookId, Page, Title, Author, ISBN and Publisher. Also the current content of the clipboard, the current page title, the current page url and other things can be used.

An example for a simple output can be: <ref name="§WebsiteTitleMainPart§">§WebsiteTitleMainPart§: [§WebsiteUrl§ §WebsiteUrl]</ref>

For example for a correct german reference string you can use the output prototype:

<ref name="§Author§">{{Literatur| Autor=§Author§ | Titel=§Title§ | Verlag=§Publisher§ | ISBN=§ISBN§ | Jahr=§PublicationYear§ | Online={{Google Buch | BuchID=§GoogleBookId§ | Seite=§Page§ }} | Seiten=§Page§ }}</ref>

For example for a correct english reference string for web citation you can use the output prototype:

<ref name="§WebsiteUrlMainPart§">{{cite web |url=§WebsiteUrl§ |title=§WebsiteTitle§ |author=§Selection§ |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=§CurrentDate§}}</ref>
<ref name="§WebsiteTitleMainPart§">{{cite web |url=§WebsiteUrl§ |title=§WebsiteTitle§ |author=§Author§§Selection§ |date= |website=§WebsiteUrlMainPart§ |publisher= |accessdate=§CurrentDate§}}</ref>
