## Description

Allows for tracking and display of external citations to WordPress content.

While trackbacks and pingbacks are fine for displaying references from other
 websites
which support them, what do you do when, say, a print newspaper, book or magazine
makes reference to your content? Citation Manager provides a solution.

### Long Description

#### At a Glance

 * Adds a form to post and page screens to manage external citations
 * Displays an unordered list of citations per post/page, or nothing if there
    are
   no citations
 * Provides shortcodes for summarizing citation data

#### Usage

 * On the page/post edit screen, press “Add citation”.
 * Fill in _at least_ the Publication or Title fields and save/update.
 * On pages/posts with citations, Citation Manager will output them after the
    content.
 * If a URL element is provided, it will be applied to the Title if present or
    
   to the Publication if not.
 * Press “Delete citation” and save/update to remove a citation.
 * Use Settings->Citation Manager to alter the text/HTML to come before and
    after
   the citation list.
 * You can also configure the presence of the `target="_blank"` attribute in
    links
   to external sites when citations are listed, causing those links to open in a
   new browser window.

#### Shortcodes

 * `[citation-count-total]` outputs an integer indicating the total number of
    citations
   to all content on the site
 * `[citation-count]` outputs an integer indicating the total number of
    citations
   to the present page or post
 * `[citation-dump]` outputs a nested unordered list of page/post titles and
    citations
   to them
