Overview
This is a simplified implementation of the cite book template found on Wikipedia. It is useful for technical reports.
Features:
- based on the English Wikipedia equivalent
- most of the common parameters are supported
- up to 25 authors can be listed
- use the display-authors = etal field to truncate the author list (if you must)
- the title field is mandatory
- the trans-title and language fields allow an English translation of the title to be included
- you can copy-and-paste to and from Wikipedia (indeed the markup can be confirmed on Wikipedia first)
Absent fields:
- the simplified first and last author fields are not supported
- the editor fields are not supported
- the chapter and pages fields are not supported
Limitations:
- no integrity checks are undertaken, aside from noting an absent title field in orange
- no metadata is injected into the HTML and the resulting page cannot be scraped by Zotero or Mendeley
- the page range should ideally be separated by an en dash (–) but this is not enforced
- you must use the parameter names as specified, there are no aliases (unlike Wikipedia)
- the language field must contain the language name (German) and not the ISO 639-1 code (de)
