The plugin allows users to generate a bibliography-style text for a publication using the provided information.
To use the plugin, users can insert a shortcode into a page with the relevant publication details, such as the title, author, journal, year, pages, publisher, volume, URL, and note.

For example, the shortcode [WpBibTeX type="inproceedings" title="Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation" author="Xie, Haozhe and Yao, Hongxun and Zhou, Shangchen and Zhang, Shengping and Sun, Wenxiu" booktitle="CVPR" year="2021" paper="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.12934.pdf" projectpage="//infinitescript.com/project/rmnet/"] generates the bibliography-style text
Haozhe Xie, Hongxun Yao, Shangchen Zhou, Shengping Zhang, Wenxiu Sun. Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation. CVPR, 2021. as well as the BibTeX cite code below.

@inproceedings{xie2021efficient,
  title={Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation},
  author={Xie, Haozhe and Yao, Hongxun and Zhou, Shangchen and Zhang, Shengping and Sun, Wenxiu},
  booktitle={CVPR},
  year={2021}
}

Users can also customize the links displayed on the page, such as adding a new link for downloading code.

New Features in 3.x

Starting from WP-BibTeX 3.0, it is now possible to create a WP-BibTeX item with a featured image on the left using the new “highlighted” format.
This can be achieved by adding the img attribute to the existing shortcode. For example: [WpBibTeX type="inproceedings" title="..." author="..." booktitle="CVPR" year="2021" img="/url/to/img"]

Additionally, you can create an overlaid media (such as a GIF or video) when the mouse is hovering by adding the overlay attribute to the shortcode. To ensure compatibility with all devices, you can create a fallback media using the overlay_fallback attribute.
Here is an example of the complete shortcode:

[WpBibTeX type="inproceedings" title="Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation" author="Xie, Haozhe and Yao, Hongxun and Zhou, Shangchen and Zhang, Shengping and Sun, Wenxiu" booktitle="CVPR" year="2021" paper="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.12934.pdf" projectpage="//infinitescript.com/project/rmnet/" img="https://shangchenzhou.com/assets/img/papers/Conf2021_rmnet.jpg" overlay="//infinitescript.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/highlights/research-rmnet.webm" overlay_fallback="//infinitescript.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/highlights/research-rmnet.gif"].

New Features in 2.x

Additionally, it is possible to personalize the links shown on the page. By default, each citation has two links, namely [BibTeX] and [Download PDF]. However, it is now possible to include custom links by accessing the option page.

Suppose a new field is created with a Field Key of code and a Field Name of Download Code. The code attribute is then used in the [WpBibTeX] shortcode as follows:

[WpBibTeX type="article" ... code="https://link/to/the/code"]

After adding this shortcode, a new link, [Download Code], will appear on the page after the [BibTeX] link.
