VisualEditor/Recipes


 * Insert a preformatted citation

A number of libraries, archives, and citation tools, makes preformatted templates available for insertion into Wikipedia articles. It is not quite obvious how to do that in VisualEditor.


 * 1) Copy the preformatted citation, that is hold it in the clipboard
 * 2) Set the cursor on the spot where the citation shall be inserted in the article
 * 3) Write &lt;ref to trigger the Cité tool
 * 4) Chose manual mode from the tabs in the dialog
 * 5) Chose "Standard" from the bottom of the dialog
 * 6) In the upper edit form paste the preformatted citation
 * 7) Click "Apply"
