Create instant Cite references with the Visual editor omitting the ref-tag
Closed, DuplicatePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary:

Have the possibility to create instant bulleted reference lists, having the same content as with a native <ref></ref> section, as created with the "Cite" tool, but without the <ref></ref> tags.

Use case(s):

Automatically build the == References ==, == Bibliography ==, == Published works ==, or == Further reading == sections.

Benefits:

Easy writing the sources section without the clumsy workaround, creating the <ref></ref> content and then manually moving the embedded content to its final place using the tag editor, and subsequently removing the redundant <ref></ref> tags. To create such instant source references, only the Visual editor should be required using all the benefits and functionality of the Cite function.

The user could then easily edit the generated template afterwards.
