JavaScript Bibliography

edit

I really like it when people provide all the sources that they used when writing an article or tutorial. It would be nice to have a plugin that helped you do this when writing.

A couple of days ago I was having a chat with Alex, one of the people I work with. We were talking about blogging and Wordpress and how it was nice when people provide a list of related links and sources used to write an article.

Alex put together a some JavaScript which looks at the body of your article and makes a list of all the links.

The only thing is some of the sources may not have been mentioned in the article. These would probably need to be put in a custom field or entered manually into the article body.

Another possibility would be to use the links section to archive sources and general links (whether they were used or not) and attach appropriate ones to an article.
