Bibstro

Deprecated: The sample relies on ScriptDb to store it's data, which is now deprecated. Please refer to the migration guide for further information.

Bibstro is a sample bibliography app for Google Docs built upon the Google Apps Script platform. Bibstro shows how you can extend Google Docs by adding custom menus, dialogs, and sidebars. Manipulating the active document to add a live-updating list of sources according to the citation format selected by the user, Bibstro enhances Google Docs by adding a custom implementation of a feature not natively supported.

To get acquainted with Bibstro, make a copy of this document and experiment with the custom bibliography features exposed via the “Bibstro” menu. You can also view and edit Bibstro’s source code via the “Tools > Script editor” menu item.
