Description

A simple chrome extension that creates a BibTeX entry for the URL in the current tab. Supports @misc and @online entries. Tab's title and URL are automatically copied to be used in your LaTeX documents. "Accessed on" field (resp. "urldate" for @online entries) is optional Author, year and month info need to be filled-in manually, and can optionally be omitted. Add \usepackage{hyperref} in your LaTeX document for the extension to work properly. Example of use: For http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging.html we get: @misc{Packa3:Online, author = {}, title = {Packaging - Google Chrome}, howpublished = {\url{https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging}}, month = {}, year = {}, note = {(Accessed on 06/07/2014)} } Changes in v.2.0.2: Fixes a bug that copies to clipboard on every page load Changes in v.2.0.1:WIP on fixing a bug that copies to clipboard on every page load Changes in v.2.0.0: Support for manifest v3, preliminary author & date parsing Changes in v.1.3.2: Abbreviation format Changes in v.1.3.1: Bug fix in option initialization Changes in v.1.3.0: Added options for omitting blank entries and @online format Changes in v.1.2.9: Replacing illegal characters in bibtex key with '.'.

Does not grab author or date published, sets class to misc regardless. Just sets title and url. Meh.

Wanted to like it, but still need to do lots of information filling myself, like the Author(s) and publishing date. Nowadays most news and blog sites should have correct tags ready for this plugin to read, but it doesn't seem to do that. Take this URL: https://www.pcgamer.com/why-are-game-install-sizes-getting-so-big/ The `type="application/ld+json"` script contains ALL information, but is not used?
