HTML::Pipeline Cite Gem

An HTML::Pipeline filter for WikiMedia-style Cite references.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'html-pipeline-cite'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install html-pipeline-cite

This gem offers an HTML::Pipeline filter that collects references in the text and inserts a table of footnotes where instructed.

Example:

<ref>This is a footnote</ref>

Becomes:

<sup class="reference" id="wiki-cite_ref-1">[<a href="#wiki-cite_note-1">1</a>]</sup>

It will show up as a bracketed, superscripted and anchored number at that location in the text. Then when <references/> is placed in the text, an ordered list of the references and their text will be placed at that location. The example above would generate a list that looks like this:

<ol>
  <li id="wiki-cite_note-1"><b><a href="#wiki-cite_ref-1">^</a></b> This is a footnote.</li>
</ol>
