# Citation formatter

Format references and in-text citations in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, or IEEE from typed fields or a pasted BibTeX or RIS export.

Add a reference to build the list.

Titles and names keep the capitalization you typed, because a formatter cannot tell a proper noun from a word. APA and Harvard expect sentence case in titles, so lower names there before you paste. Two works by the same author in the same year are not lettered automatically; add the a and b yourself. The BibTeX reader covers the common entry types, brace and quote values, month macros, and @string tables; it skips fields it does not know. IEEE numbers references in the order you add them, since real numbering follows citation order in your document.
