Citation Block

The Citation block (abt/citation) inserts an inline citation to one or more references at the point in your text where you add it.

  1. Edit a post or page (on a post type enabled in Settings > General).
  2. Add the Citation block where the citation should appear.
  3. In the block sidebar, choose the reference(s) to cite.
  4. Optionally add a locator, prefix, or suffix.

The block renders the citation in your site’s default citation style, matched to any bibliography on the page.

Option Description
References One or more references to cite
Locator A page or location detail, e.g. p. 42
Prefix Text before the citation, e.g. see
Suffix Text after the citation

A document-level References panel lists the works cited in the current post, so you can review and manage citations across the whole document while editing.
